Pointed to it by BBC News24 (specifically their tech bit the name of which I can’t remember) [randomwebsite.com](http://randomwebsite.com/) I’ve found some pretty cool ones so far (and some lame ones too) Post any _really_ cool websites it finds for you here. (if you like) ---

Sorry to snap, btw, but I hardly got anything done today running back to see if anyone had posted to the letter L…great thread. And thanks for the link ---

I am posting right now after frantically rushing all the things I have to do at work. Things I would have done hours ago had I not found the blasted website. You’re welcome **Maureen** (I used to be babysat by a woman called Maureen) sorry **flood** I had to. It was controlling me subliminally. ---

I like your screename BTW. **Lobsang** ; it speaks to me. It says, “Hey, it looks like Lobster, but it’s not, it’s **Lobsang**.” Reminds me of a lobster singing a song (lobsters are my favorite little critters too). ---

I think it’s from Terry Pratchett. Lobsang Dibbler. (Am I right? Please say yes, it would be such a nice change…) ---

CMOT Dibbler. Lobsang did _meet_ Dibbler (or was it the preist version?) but he wasn’t _was_ Dibbler. BTW - I Hate it (as a username) I’d rather be some variation of Vimes. (CMOT - Cut Me Own Throat. Don’t ask my why. I haven’t read _that_ book) ---

Oh, God, **Lobsang** , you’ve released the ultimate evil upon us. I think you may have just filled the next ten years of my life. I’ll never know my children…🙂 ---

I thought this was kinda neat (found it after a few clicks): [Linguistic Anomalies File](http://www.zingman.com/zingling.html). A nice little list of strange words and phrases. Then there was the [NRA Kooky Kids Korner](http://www.chickenhead.com/features/nrakids/index.html). Um, yeah. ---

Shows they have a limited database if the same site shows up twice like that. And there’s me thinking it picked random websites from the whole internet (well I didn’t. but I thought it’d be cool if it did) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/in-case-you-didnt-already-know-about-it-randomwebsite-com/194147.md?page=2)
