Atlas Obscura

Atlas Obscura is a website detailing all of the weird and wonderful places to be found across the world. From abandoned Incan ruins to a cemetery for sports mascots it's got it all. You can ever search it by category or location. I learned that my state has a 3/4 scale model of the white house, a massive time capsule set to be opened in thousands of years, and a strange monument built by a mysterious benefactor. Check out what's weird in your neck of the woods.

The Museum of Unworkable Decives

For thousands of years humans have dreamed of creating a perpetual motion machine, a machine that could do useful work while functioning without any sort of input forever. Science says that this is impossible, but that hasn't stopped people from trying. The Museum of Unworkable Devices has extensive information on perpetual motion machines past and present, as well as detailed scientific explanations on why they won't work. It also has some optical illusions, and a few drawings by Escher and the like. Check it out.

Tsui Design & Research Inc.

I live crazy artists, don't you? It's my philosophy that artists are supposed to be nuts. That's just the way it ought to be. Eugene Tsui of Tsui Design and Research Inc. is a delightfully demented artist who designs weird buildings and funky unisex clothing. He's great! Check it out.
