I love scouting out strange websites. Share here!

This website itself isn't really weird, but this article is awesome:

I liked reading about the obsessiveness shown by the folks at ratkill.com. The eraticator is a natural writer:

"I started stalking this "king rat," baiting the station every night and waiting by the bedroom window to take my shot. The first few nights, the possum who we named "Henry" sauntered down the tree trunk and made off with whatever I had left out there, making me wonder if I had imagined the huge rat. But on the third night, my suspicions were confirmed as the guest of honor showed. As he made his way down the tree trunk warily, I marveled at his size. He was round and fat, like an overstuffed dufflebag, and beady eyed, like a Beverly Hills chihuahua. I started to cock my rifle. The dogs, knowing there was action on it's way, began barking. The rat spooked and ran back up the tree. He disappeared into the upper canopy, a missed opportunity.

I cursed my luck and began obsessively plotting the shot. I went on line and researched the cost of having a rat mounted by a taxidermist. Amidst protests from my girlfriend, I set up a sniper camp in our bedroom, waiting for his return. Two nights later I got my chance. . . "

The boys over at cheapovegas have a treasure trove of great Vegas trip reports. One of my favorites was Vegas on $19 per day:

And the classic 4 days for $40:

RIP Stinky.

eslcafe.com Korean forums.

Been here 3 days and feel like I need a 3 day shower.

First website forum I've ever joined where I don't care if I get banned.

Not at all. But here one encounters the rudest, most argumentative 'adults' I've ever come accross and I post on sherdog.com and try to stick up for hapki, so that's saying something.

I've been using forums since 2004 and i totally agree. This forum seems to have above average levels of negativity, considering its supposed to be a lot of people with a shared interest/experience. And thats bearing in mind that on any given PhP the negativity is generally high to begin with...
Its even gotten to me, I've been here less than a month and ive already had to self edit a post.

I like this website a lot - http://www.flickr.com/photos/nightmaresfearfactory/

They take pictures of people getting scared in a haunted house attraction...

I once spent the better part of a week browsing 4chan.org�s /b/ forum. I was spitting out rainbows by the end of it, but it was pretty cool finding the raw beating heart of the internet.

Here's a taste...

Quote:
You are educated evil,

and might have to kill

the evil ONE teaching

educators before you

can learn that 4 corner

days actually exist

...

The 12 hour or 1/2 Day clock is an intended EVIL against humanity -

indicting every human on Earth as Dumb, Educated Stupid and Evil -

for imaginary Cubed Earth has 4

Days within simultaneous rotation.

One God would equal a God Dunce

as Humans evolve from Children.

I like http://www.superbad.com

I've probably spent hours clicking through it and still see new things every time.

There was another, better one that I've forgotten the URL for.

www.jodi.org has been fairly consistently weird over the past decade, I just checked it out then though and it's not quite so weird at the moment.
