Sorry to hear you've had such a rough day... I searched my bookmarks, and I could only come up with one fun site (Apparently I need a bit more levity in my life)

What you need is a COW AUCTION! And not just any cow auction, but an ART COW AUCTION!
And not just any art cows, but cows that are half Mondrian...
...and half Warhol!
The art cow comes from the offline part of the event--The Charity Cow Auction--held at the Chicago Theatre. (They know how to live in the Windy City, don't they?) Prices ran up to $50K for these beauties. And we think we pay a lot for steak!
In addition to the live auction results, there are EIGHT PAGES of cows that were auctioned on the net over 9 days as part of the Metromix Online Cow Auction. That's right, Jeanyu, 75 unique bovinities like "Dairy Air Enforcer," ready to take your mind off your troubles.
