What is the greatest and MOST INTERESTING web site on the internet? I will give the person who gives the best one a free box of girl scout cookies of their choice. I will even pay the shipping. This is not a joke. Lets hear some ideas!

Best art site I know of.

Budding novel-review site. Still fairly small but it could become an excellent resource if enough people join.
I’ll second Fark, The Onion, Snopes and Homestar Runner.
