Chain Surfing happens when someone is surfing the internet, sees an "interesting" link then opens it in a new tab or new window (who the heck still opens in a new window?). The person briefly checks the new tab/window then stumbles upon a new link and then opens it in a new tab/window. The person will keep repeating the process until he realizes that he is now looking up nazism and he has wasted more than 30 minutes reading random stuff not really related to the original website. This usually happens on wikipedia, youtube, cracked, etc.

Apr 27 Word of the Day
A horoscope so bad that it strikes fear into the heart of the reader, rendering them unable take action or make a decision on anything or to even leave the house. This is caused by a paralyzing fear that those actions or decisions may cause the predictions to come true.
After reading "There is a lot of uncertainty around financial transactions and investments right now, and the wrong decision could result in dire consequences" in his daily Horrorscope, Edward climbed back into bed, pulled the sheets over his head and remained there for the rest of the day.
Edward only had enough gas in his car to get to the gas station but was not sure if he had enough money in his account to pay for gas. His cell phone service had been cut off because his payments were in arrears, and since the only way he could be sure he had enough money (to pay for gas) would be to call the bank, he felt it best to hide in bed and hope his horoscope for tomorrow was more positive.

to balance on a slacked chain that runs between two poles, typically found in urban environments that were designed to have an old-fashioned look. In order to maintain balance, you keep your arms raised and the chain moves sideways, making it look as if you were on a real surf board.
