Wonderfully Weird Websites!





Firstly, pardon the alliteration in the title. It couldn't be helped.

Secondly, Life can sometimes be too mainstream. The same old routine, the oft trodden path and the same uniform surroundings. But then again, it offers some moments which have the ability to surprise, to differ.

The internet is not unlike life; the same old social networks, the e-mails and the videos can make everyday internet life quite boring. But then again, like life, the internet possesses the capacity to deliver something most queer and unlikely in the form of some weird yet wonderful websites.

These websites are not your standard go-to internet portals with heaps of information and a wide range of services. They do not suggest the regular menus and sign-ins and sign-ups. These 8 websites are simple in approach and extravagant in their yield. All that is needed is an amusing and curious perspective -



The Ugly Dance


Dancing is not everyone's cup of tea. But internet makes everything possible.
TheUglyDance.com is an extremely amusing and appealing website. Created by the Swedish Band Fulkultr, the site showcases their flagship song in a fancy and  interactive manner. 
Upload, adjust and groove away to glory.
And yes, the song is pretty hip too.

WorldoMeters


WorldoMeters is a statisticians paradise. It makes use of an unique algorithm to deliver real time data. This data consists of various themes like world population which includes current population, births per day, deaths per day and so on. It also showcases other relevant real time data on Government, Economies, Environment and such.
Even someone who does not care much for statistics should be impressed by the ingenuity and simplicity of this portal. The striking rates at which the different parameters change give a glimpse of how dynamic a world we live in.

Incredibox


Most people are only an audience to music. Incredibox keeps that in mind and takes the idea of fun with music to a higher pedestal. This imaginative website allows the non-musical masses to create their own music. This is achieved with the help of droll figures and an array of simple options.
Incredibox is quite clearly one of the best websites among others of its class - easy to use, distinct and precise. It does not take a musician to figure out the working of Incredibox. One can make funky, snazzy and beautiful music by simply dragging and dropping.

Do Nothing For 2 Minutes


Life in general and the web in particular can be pretty stressful. Keeping up with the social networks, the e-mails and the lethargic internet speed tends to be a tedious job. But now, the internet has its very own stress buster.
DoNothingfor2minutes.com is literally what it sounds like. Do nothing for 2 minutes. Sit back, relax and let the virtual beach with its soothing waves calm your senses. A pretty good way to spend time on the web.

Omegle


One of the fundamental principles taught to us ever since childhood is to not to interact with strangers. However, Omegle teaches exactly the opposite
Hit the 'start a chat' button (preferably text. However if you're into male genitals, you can try video too) and you are good to go. Omegle will connect you to random people on the site from the world over. There are other cool options like spy mode too.
There are times when the chats are abrupt, but then there are others where you genuinely connect with others. Go ahead, give it a try.

Vector Park


Some good things in the world do not carry any justifications or any meaning in particular. They are just present, simple and yet somehow aesthetic. They can please people in a queer way.
VectorPark.com is one such thing - a collection of  vague 'games' which will gratify, if not engage people. The games are basically vector graphics which interact with the users through subtle animations in the most graceful manner. The usage of colours, the simplicity and the imagination of Peter Smith  is most captivating.
Vector Park may be a pet peeve for some, while a charm for others.

Legions of men have gazed upon a potato and wondered about its size. But what they haven't had is the means to measure the parameters of that particular potato.
However, with this revolutionary new technology, we can do exactly that. Want to know the size? The weight? The cooking time? All the answers lie in this uniquely brilliant website.
The humble potato has been the undisputed king of  food. But howbigismypotato.com takes it to a whole new level.

Paper Toilet


Toilet paper is an integral part of many cultures and like all things physical, it has a virtual counterpart in the form of papertoilet.com.
This is a minimalistic website featuring a simple toilet paper roll. The aim of this setup is to pull the paper until the roll is over. Arduous as this task maybe, it is enriching. And the surprise that lies after completely pulling the whole paper is absolutely awesome!
