Damn Intersting Stuff

http://www.damninteresting.com/
True to its name, this site goes over often relatively unknown historical and scientific facts and stories.

Stories about a 3.5 billion gallon lake that was accidentally drained completely in 3 hours, or a 1920 terrorist bombing of Wall Street in New York, or a fire that has been burning since 1962. If you geek out on the History Channel, you'll love this site.
