Favorite websites?

Inspired by del.icio.us, which is a bookmark website that allows you to access your bookmarks anywhere and let other people see what everybody is bookmarking, what are your favorite unusual websites?

Try to limit it to about three or four. The more involved and/or useful they are, the better (i.e. a page of a dancing baby is fun, but what else does it do?) and bonus points for unusualness (unusuality?).

I'll start:

http://www.meetup.com/ - people can find or found a real-life group anywhere (international) based on any activity or interest

http://www.colourlovers.com/ - people put together palettes from web-based colors for no reason

http://www.dogster.com/ - people have and browse web pages for their dogs

I have to agree on the Wikipedia thing, especially for the statement "John Paul II, like most Poles was an excellent bowler. It is believed he is the only pontiff to ever have a 300 game."

I like Allrecipes.com (http://search.allrecipes.com/recipe/Ingredient.aspx), because they have a recipe searching tool where you put in what you have in your kitchen and what you don't have, and it comes up with recipes you can make with those items.

I also frequent http://www.dltk-kids.com/ because it has a lot of worksheets I can print out for my kids to do while I am driving around and they are bored, but I don't want them to fall asleep in the car.

I to go to www.mygrocerychecklist.com but I am now writing my own database for my grocery list, so I won't be going there much more.

My kids spend a lot of time here, (http://www.starfall.com/) it's a pretty cool site and they are reading better everyday because of it.


oh, one more, we really are liking this (http://choppingblock.com/archive/tmbg/eEatsEverything/)song by They Might Be Giants. It's great!

Fry's (http://www.outpost.com)

For when I'm bored (http://www.shockwave.com)

For keeping up my French (http://jt.france2.fr/)

Recipes and such (http://www.epicurious.com)

I'm sure there are others, those are just the ones that popped right into my head.

This looks pretty useful...too bad it's a poorly designed site. :P I could totally better, but I refuse to prove it.

Speaking of cooking, this is my favorite recipe site:
www.cookingforengineers.com
It's very specific, which is something I really need because I have no cooking intuition at all. I made marshmallows from scratch using this website, and they were good as shit.

Wow...somebody had to make this and really put major thought into it. Now that I think of it, there's probably more than one of this sort of website out there.
