Jimpy, I wanted to let you know that I linked my husband to your Brittany Spears physics page and it was a MASSIVE HIT with the NASA physicists at Stanford! 😉

I stumbled upon this one today and nearly died laughing:

A collection of paintings from thrift stores. From hilariously bad to downright disturbing.

Pay special attention to “Psycho Lady” at the bottom of the list of that last url.

**voguevixen:** –I’m glad I could brighten the NASA types day. Believe ot or not, I found this page because it was [Scientific American’s](http://www.sciam.com/)most recent [Pick of the Web](http://www.sciam.com/bookmarks)

This isn’t exactly their normal fare. Though some of the other things there arn’t exactly normal either ([See the world through the eyes of a honey bee](http://cvs.anu.edu.au/andy/beye/beyehome.html)comes to mind). But there is nothing else quite like Britney’s site there, or maybe in the world.

1968?

I’ve seen signs for this one and the county in which it’s located (three guesses) and I figured it was high time to nominate it for a Weird Earl.

I drive through this county all the time on my way to Philly. And, I think of the master every time.

And, it’s fighting ignorance since 1973, silly…

The United States Postal Service fan page. They want you to (among other things) sign a petition to get people to stop using the term “snail mail”. They love letters, and darn it, so should you!

Inspired by today’s Weird Earl selection of “Ship of Fools”, with its pages full of “Gadgets for God,” I hereby nominate:

[http://www.jesusoftheweek.com](http://www.jesusoftheweek.com)

… where every week you can thrill to a new image of Jesus, lovingly rendered by some apparently-serious artist out there, which just makes you want to groan. Okay, bottom line, people send in snapshots of weird Jesus renditions to Peter Gilstrap, and he makes witty comments about them.

The archives are hysterical.

I believe Dijon _meant_ to credit Sue Duhnym, who first pointed out that site. Leaving her name out was an oversight, I’m sure.

Here’s a suggestion - the Love Lab

Fun with icthyologists. Includes a section on really bad resons to become a marine biologist and explains why becoming one will mean you will probably never have sex again.
