I had an idea to start a thread about all the oddities to be found on the world wide web but I obviously needed to find some of the locations before I could do anything so I set out to find the obscure, the strange, the cool, the out of the way, or just plain weird. This could also include anything just plain awesome, science related or otherwise. Your post might be pics, video's, articles, or really just anything you find that might be strange, creepy, esoteric, paranormal, scientific, philosophical, or otherwise just really cool.
I'll start it off with a few I've come across. I don't want to tip my hand completely but if there is any interest in this thread I'll periodically add more.
wtfsigfd.com (Where the F should I go for drinks) This site allows you to enter your zip code and it tells you where to do drink. It gives you a recommendation and even has a button that says, no that place looks like shit. I don't know how many places in the world it covers but give it a try.

This is the theory of everything, mapped, at quantamagazine.org, just hit start and enjoy. It will give you a concise layman's explanation for some complex ideas.

This is the SCP (Secure, Contain, Protect) Foundation. Its a weird website dedicated to fictional stories about dangerous relics and artifacts.

This is a place called codedoodles. I'll let you check it out for yourself.

This is a paranormal site called Altered Dimensions. It falls under the weird category for sure. Its like a train wreck that is hard to look away from. If you scroll down and read some of the article titles they beg to be clicked on, like the one about a mom reported pushing her dead toddler in a swing all night.

This is a cool site for things related to space. Not sure how accurate all of it is or who sponsors the site but its worth a look if you like news and articles on space.

Sometimes crimes go unsolved and websites pop up like the one I'm about to link for you. This is a site dedicated to the 1977 Girl Scout Murders. If you click on the timeline on the left it will start you out with the story as it transpired. It is certainly a very strange and horrible case that involves the paranormal. You may get sucked into this vortex for a while.

This is a site for people who either think they are vampires or want to be vampires. I've tried to vet each site I post so as not to post anything that might violate the Sherdog rules but some of these sites are expansive. If you want to see a crazy corner of the web check these fools out.

This is a behind the scenes look at the making of the Shining that I have never seen before. It focuses on Jack Nicholson and the "Here's Johnny" scene. Very interesting look for movie buffs.
This is a philosophical argument that I have never heard. I thought I understood the implications when the first half of the argument was stated, the Experience Machine, but then realized when the second part was stated, the Reverse Experience Machine, that I had not fully grasped the implications. I won't spoil it, you will have to watch it to discuss it. I personally would have a hard time leaving the reverse experience machine.
