A German magazine sold out in a day after offering readers vouchers for a free sex session at a brothel in Austria.
Damn strange, I thought. If the magazine sold out, obviously the public is interested.
Which lead me to think, Hmmmm. What other damn strange things could the public be interested in? My post earlier this week is really only the beginning, only the tip of a massive iceberg, of strangeness.
This lead me to Dogpile and I have compiled for your pleasure, your disgust, your slack jawed amusement, some damn strange things the guy or gal sitting next to you thinks about in their spare time.
1.) A website devoted to girls eating sandwiches. With inane descriptions!
2.) Even more strange, the Zit Lovers Community page. Posts, comments and links to zit photos for the acne obsessed.
3.) For those of a more intellectual bent, the Weird Research, Anomalous Physics site.
"Theories have four stages of acceptance:
i) this is worthless nonsense;
ii) this is an interesting, but perverse, point of view;
iii) this is true, but quite unimportant;
iv) I always said so.

4.) Weird Links is a clean and wonderfully navigatable site covering everything from auras to stigmata.
5.) The state that gave you Ed Gein, cheeseheads the House on the Rock - yes, it's Weird Wisconsin
6.) Let's throw in a quiz for you: What is your weird body part fetish?
My results:
ELBOW!
7.) Something Weird Videos. From Alice in Acidland to The Undertaker and his Pals, SMV has got some damn strange videos and DVD's. Some are raunchy, some are amusingly bad but all of them have been lovingly amassed and assembled because people are strange even when your acquainted.
8.) A must visit for anyone looking for something strange is FORTEAN TIMES. A treasure troff of information from Nazi occultism to cryptozoology. The On this Day feature is worth a daily visit and you simply must explore the Breaking News and It Happened to Me! features.
9.) Feral Robot Dogs. I enjoyed just typing that. I think I'll type it again. Feral Robot Dogs. Yep. Liked it the second time, too.
10.) Shock Comics - to satisfy your inner asshole.
11.) Someone finally took the time and gotten it down in html - Weird Band Name Hall of Fame.
A few examples:
Ass Solvent
Hitler Stole My Potato
Phlegm Fatale
Your Mother Was a Man
12.) A quite teal website featuring Strange & Unusual Dictionaries which has lovely links to places like Dictionary of Custom License Plate Terms. This one solved a lot of head scratchers I've experienced whilst in horrible traffic.
13.) For the harried traveler, Sleeping in European Airports.
14.) Museums you must see if you're strange:
The Medieval Crime Museum
Museum of medieval Criminology in Tuscany
The Museum of Torture
The Museum of Weird Consumer Culture
The R. Crumb Museum
The Museum of Bad Art
The Mutter Museum
The Museum of Questionable Medical Devices
The Willow Creek - China Flat Museum (dedicated to Bigfoot) You can stay at the Bigfoot Motel when you visit.
Strange enough for you?
I'm rather sated.
