Damn Interesting

In my internet quest for the weird, wacky and wonderful, I came across this site which truly lives up to its name:

Damn Interesting

Medium length blog posts on a host of topics, from nuclear disasters to crab parasites to Uri Geller. Use the "Random Article" selection under the "Sections" menu to see the widest variety.

Almost as much fun as Wikipedia.

The Meaning of Life

I am gathering thoughts and links for posts, and came across this, an intersection of GraphJam and Indexed:

Le Grand Content

It's... odd. Yet appealing.

Creepy Crawly

No, I'm not talking about Dick Cheney.

Cool Flash site where you get to play with a spider. I love the entrance it makes.

FAFBLOG!

FAFBLOG IS BACK!

And the world just got a lot weirder. In a good way.

Can't take the heat?

This is both fascinating and disturbing. Work safe, but may have strange psychological after effects.

Easter Bunny

Now I crave a hot fudge sundae.

Shrill and Unholy Madness

For when you need your ancient gods to lighten up:

LOLTHULHU

It will drive you insane, but in a happy sort of way.

The Nietzsche Family Circus

The title says it all. Just go look.

Splitting the Difference

Freaking News is a great site where Photshop fanatics are asked to create wild and wonderful (and sometimes disgusting and borderline obscene - browse with caution) images that take their cues from something in the news that day. Turtles, Elvis, Osama Bin Laden, Sen. Larry Craig, airplanes - if you can think of it, they probably have a photo gallery on it.

I am utterly impressed by this one - Partial Face Transplants.

Just go look then come back and vote for your favorite.

Pandemonium

Pandas are much cuter in pictures than in person, truth be told. We have a pack of them here in the San Diego Zoo, and they spend most of their time sound asleep. However, we've had the pleasure of seeing them being very active, such as one late night zoo trip where the male was romping around his enclosure and rumbling contendly to himself. Here is a YouTube video (very short) of how quickly these animals can move when the occasion calls for it.

Fermentation

In my search for goofy things online, I came across this YouTube video of a wide variety of African fauna having a good time consuming a particular bit of African flora.

Party Tree

I could do without the background music, but the whole is a mild chuckle.

Red in Tooth and Claw

In my ever expanding search for the weird, I present another "nature is weirder than you think" video from YouTube.

Rabbit and Predator

I can say right up front that the rabbit gets away relatively unscathed, so safe for general viewing. Also funny as hell.
