       Don't you think you need a little diversion? Here are some
       not-so-useful gopher resources for when you need to relax.
        
       -- Comics and art (updated regularly through the week!) --
 (DIR) xkcd - A Webcomic of Romance, Sarcasm, Math and Language.
       The great xkcd comic is mirrored here by permission.
        
 (DIR) Hitori Dake no Renga - The Literate Anti-Comic
       Yours truly gets snarky in not-so-free verse. Out of
       print, but not out of style.
        
       -- Games, gadgets and giggles --
 (DIR) Figlet Gateway
       Design your own ASCII text art! Utilizes the open-source
       tool figlet.
        
 (DIR) Floodgap Gopher Shortener Service fld.gp
       Need a link for the social media flavour of the day that
       works no matter where? Share your favourite Gopher links
       with vapid people using shortened URLs that work over both
       HTTP and Gopherspace.
