Where do you get your samples from?

Anyone else constantly finding themselves sampling random ass videos on youtube?
so far ive found: a homeless man talking about crack
a baby screaming the word "blood"
various drum samples including an alternate version of idioteque by radiohead
city streets in india

personally i think this is the best use of youtube. i just thought i would share this.
if you have a favorite source of samples you wanna share let me know all about it!

sometimes i lurk at http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/ for some exotic stuff.

it's a great source, and the most stuff is properly recorded (can't say this about youtube....64 kbps/mono sucks for serious audio work - but surely, it can be fun and if it fit's in the musical context, why not..... )
