Nine of the Weirdest Websites

Webupon.com shares ten (one link isn’t working) of the weirdest, wackiest and most disturbing websites found on the web:

 

  1. Wildrecipes.com

This includes chocolate-dipped hotdogs, scrambled eggs and calves brains, and cheddar coffee.

 

  1. The Dialectizer

Type any sentence into this webpage and pick the dialect you’d like to come out! Dialects include Redneck, Elmer Fudd, and Moron.

 

  1. The Official Beanie Basher Website

From the author of the Official Beanie Basher Handbook, who seems to have major issues with beanie babies. This includes a Beanie autopsy, how to make fake beanies, and 15 alternative uses for Beanie babies.

 

  1. Name Generator for Guys

Type in your name and…out comes a newer, better one.

 

  1. Who Are You? Quiz

A simple quiz with easy questions tells you information about you and your life.

 

  1. Pet E-mails

Ever wish you could send your pet an e-mail? Now you can. Type in his or her e-mail address and a quick message, and the website not only sends the message, but translates it into your pet’s native tongue.

 

  1. God Hates Figs

According to this website figs are the source of all evil in the world, excerpts from the bible are included to prove the point.

 

  1. Psychic Ant Pharm

Even better than an 8 ball. Type in a yes or no question, and this “pharm” of ants will give you an answer.

 

  1. Stop Alien Abductions

If you’ve been trying with no success to find instructions for a Thought Screen Helmet, look no farther! This website gives step-by-step instructions (along with photos) for helmet making. Apparently if the aliens can’t hack into your brain, they’re not interested in you.



In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
