Take a look at this one:

This fellow has put a lot of effort in collecting toilet pictures from all over. Very funny yet cool in an odd way…

Dunno if this one’s been suggested or not, but it’s a hoot. And the links are classy, too.

In a nutshell, [Belgium does not exist](http://zapatopi.net/belgium.html).

It’s a hoax.

Also, [this](http://www.bol.ucla.edu/~permadi/java/spaint/) is a good waste of time, though not particularly weird.

This site compiles “weird earls” and, if you scroll down the list, you’ll be amazed and inspired to see that The Straight Dope is on the list as a weird link… perhaps we should take that as an insult???

**Bad Astronomy** (find out the truth about all your favorite scifi films)!  
**Bad Chemistry** (“Theory of Ice skating is all wet!” “Ionic solutions don’t look like that!”)!  
And of course, **Bad Physics** (including an essential look at electricity misconceptions)!

Don’t miss it! Plus you get to use exclamation points!

I did not read all the responses, so I apologize if I’m repeating an already suggested URL. I really haven’t checked it out much, but [freakylinks](http://www.freakylinks.com) seems like a pretty cool site. I’ll just check and report back.

Okay, here’s the scoop. I checked it out (a little) and it’s all about the paranormal. Ghosts, witches, aliens. But it also deals with conspiracy theories, the undead, and stories of people in a desperate attempt to make you a “believer”. It has a section called the discussion board which, as it appears to me, is overrun by young kids or extremely illiterate people. Check it out and see for yourself, but I probably won’t go back there.
