I'm not getting upside down or anything, just a bunch of strange boxes.  I guess it fits with the offbeat theme here.

Interesting.  I wonder if it has anything to do with your system's configuration.

Wow! That's pretty neat!

Uh, how did you get the post title to appear upsidedown, or is that just me?

Since we currently have two humor threads going (thanks to all who contribute), in the interest of community fun I thought it might be fun to have a thread where we could post links to strange, interesting, or strangely interesting web sites thay we'd like to share.

Let's keep it rated PG or better, and no politics or religion, please.
