Cracked.com

For anyone who likes "Top 10 [insert random/disgusting thing here]" things, cracked.com is for you. Basically they've got a bunch of top ten (or other numbers) lists. Some are semi-senhttp://alexworld12.blogspot.com/sible, and some are downright stupid. For example there's the 5 Most Badass Presidents of All Time, the 6 Bullsh*t Facts About Psychology That Everyone Believes and (must be written by someone with too much time on their hands) 5 Mental Disorders That Only Occur in One Place on Earth
. From the funny to the decidedly odd, Cracked has it all.
One of my favourites is the article about the 15 Images You Won't Believe Aren't Photoshopped. Some of them you really won't believe.
By the way, some of their articles contain strong language.
