StumbleUpon

I've recently downloaded the Firefox extension StumbleUpon. For people that have never heard of StumbleUpon it's an add on/extension that can be installed into Firefox or IE that shows you websites according to your interests (which you set when you register) when you click the 'Stumble!' button.
So, I thought I'd post some cool sites that I've found.

Name: Blogmusik
URL:
http://www.blogmusik.net
Description:
Blogmusik is essentially a free online ipod. You can type an artist into the search bar at the bottom of the ipod and it'll bring up all songs they have in their database by that artist. They give you the option to save songs into a playlist so you don't have to constantly search them but you have to be registered to use the save feature. It's fairly basic in terms of other features, you can change the volume and set a song to repeat but there isn't really anything that stands out.
I should also say, the sound quality isn't all that good. It's not terrible but it's noticeable.

Name: TypeNow Themed Fonts
URL: http://www.typenow.net/themed.htm
Description:
A huge list of 305 famous fonts which you can download for free. They include fonts from Robocop, Terminator, Yahoo!, Danzig, Def Leppard, Atari, Half Life, Ferrari and tons more.

Name: 25 Reasons to Smoke Marijuana
URL:
http://questionthemark.org/2006/12/22/25-reasons-to-smoke-marijuana.aspx
Decription:
This website presents 25 very good reasons to smoke marijuana. The writer has even provided links for some of the reasons to prove their credibility.
Before you ask, yes I have done it a few times.

Name: Project Censored
URL: http://www.projectcensored.org/censored_2007/index.htm
Description: This website shows you the top 25 news stories that didn't make the news. Not surprisingly a lot of them involve the USA in some way.

Name: Demockratees
URL:
http://www.demockratees.com/
Description:
A great website for buying politically themed clothing. Most relate to America in some way but you could probably wear them in any English speaking country and people will understand it.

Name: List of Unusual Deaths
URL:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unusual_deaths
Description:
Quite a long list of unusual deaths, ranging from ancient times to the present day.

I'll add more as I find them.
