I just thought I'd take five minutes and give y'all some links to slightly offbeat websites that I like. You've probably heard of at least some of them, but you may not have heard of some others. Check them out.
Urban Legends Reference Pages--The well-known snopes.com. Earth's best source for debunking of rumors, scare stories, and the like.
Quackwatch--Loads of information on health (and a few other) frauds. Includes lots of skepticism and logic and science and all that stuff.
The Hardball Times--The best baseball site, bar none.
Pet of the Day--Really cute pet pectures.
Victorian Web--Everything you ever wanted to know about one of the most fascinating periods of history.
Arts and Letters Daily--If you didn't already know about this one, you should. Dozens of links to the most interesting middle-to-highbrow articles and essays out there.
Fametracker--This one is hilarious. It half loves and half laughs at the world of celebrities and showbiz, and skewers that world.
Darwin Awards--Everybody loves the Darwin Awards. I think it's because we enjoy knowing that we're not the stupidest people out there.
JunkScience.com--Another great debunking site.
Screenplays For You--Over 600 real movie scripts. I have no idea whether this is legal or not. It's based in Russia, so I suppose it isn't.
KHYI--My favorite country station. A bunch of hippie rednecks out of Dallas. Just click "Listen Now".
The Crime Library--Great morbid sensationalistic true-crime stuff.
Cliff Yablonski Hates You--Great collection of dumb photographs with even dumber comments. Hilarious.
The Straight Dope--Answers to hundreds of questions you probably wouldn't have thought of yourself. Indispensible.
