The [Annals of Improbable Research](http://www.improbable.com/airchives/classical/#air) is good for a laugh. They hand out “Ig Nobel” prizes every year to funny, but real, research papers. The link goes to their “classic” page which includes a lot of tongue in cheek (but not real) research papers, but you can click through to see the winners through that page. 2011 winners can also be found [here](http://www.improbable.com/ig/winners/#ig2011). I’ll warn you, though. That site can be as addictive as TV tropes. ---

I can’t find it anymore but several years ago there was a pretty elaborate website for **Steve McQueen State University** in Papillon, SD. Someone put a lot of work into making it look like a real university’s website. It was a lot of fun to browse through. Too bad it doesn’t seem to be up anymore. ---
