5 Kick-Ass Websites


Ever wanted a nice, simple definition for things in pop culture? Well these quirky and clever residents of England put together a Ten Word Wiki. Check out the hilarious definitions for Twilight, the Jonas Brothers and, of course, Tiger Woods all in exactly ten words.


This is probably the best website for trivia enthusiasts, who are asked to fill out entire lists of things in a number of categories. You can fill out all 38 Shakespeare plays or all 44 presidents or, if you are more geographically inclined, all the countries on every continent, which would be beyond impressive.


History is great but sometimes reading historical articles can be...dry. Not at Cracked.com though. Their historical, informative or just silly articles are filled with facts, hilarious commentary and pictures that truly illustrate the topic and their sense of humor. My favorite posts include the people who were hard to kill and the most common myths about WWII.


This is just plain, silly, enormously nerdy fun. So go try it you lumpish clapper-clawed horn-beast!



This YouTube game show sometimes borders or weird, but I find their trivia videos to be a lot of fun. The host, which is usually the gesticulating machine known as Hank Green, gives you a set of facts and you pick which one is true or false by clicking on it's box. He then tells you whether or not you were right. My favorite ones include drugs, St. Patrick's Day, and fast food.
