Re: [LM_NET] Tar: True but odd web sites

["Dr. Michael Bell" <drmichaelbell@VIRTUALLRC.COM>]

Dear Angela,

I searched my site, Infotopia ( http://www.infotopia.info ) for these terms :
(odd OR strange) ("web sites" OR websites)

For my efforts I found the following interesting site :
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/574951/posts

It seems to have a lot of what you are looking for, but be forewarned :
several of the links are DEAD.  Anyway my favorite site so far is the
Darwin Awards ( http://www.DarwinAwards.com/ ).

Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
