This is a site I could browse through for hours on end without getting bored.
What is it, you ask? Why it’s an enormous collection of random facts, articles and essays on topics that range from Astronomy to Utopia to Death to Weird Events and more.
Sound kinda general and broad? That’s because it is! You never know what you’ll find when you click on a topic. Choose Death, for example, and you’ll find a link to a compendium of Bizarre Gravestone Epitaphs, reprinted from The People’s Almanac. (“And the Devil sent him Anna.” is one that intrigued me to no end)
Or, go to the Mystery in History section and check out the People with Strange Powers. There you’ll find The Flying Friar, The Queen of Fire-Eaters and the Psychic Detective. All documented. There are reports from the Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology on scientific street-walking experiments, and even a history of the search for the lost city of Atlantis.
There’s no shortage of story inspiration here, folks, or even just a cure for boredom, if that’s all you’re looking for. At the moment, I’m trying to think up reasons the Devil might have sent Anna to some guy, and why he ended up dead because of it. Tell me what nuggets you dig up from here.
I see that smile.
Hi Josh,
Thanks for recommending this site.
Mac came home w/ a last minute assignment on John F. Kennedy. He’ll enjoy doing a little research on a site recommended by his cousin Josh.
