 go to www.goto80.com/link
  THEN go to a link near the bottom that says "wicked flash  site"
 
  THEN wait until stuff loads
  THEN click the link that says, um "type" or "keys" or  something like that I forget
 
  THEN pick, um, I think it was number 2 ... or 3
  Eventually somewhere around there I came across a cool  picture of mona lisa where her face was in a 3x3 grid. when  you click on one of the squares in this grid it distorts by  expanding thus shrinking the other squares, so you can make  weird faces. Oh... yeah. Now that is what I call fun.

i'm not 100% sure what you're talking about, cause i'm on a  modem and don't feel like going to that site and waiting...  but, it sounds a lot like some of the experiments that used  to be on yugop.com.  which, used to be an awesome site,  haven't been there in a while though.

They should use this type of stuff in videogames! Look how  simple and mathematically precise this is, yet look at the  extremely wide range of facial expressions possible. You  could have some big bad boss in a real deserving contra  sequel or something where the face is composed of such a  grid and randomly chosen squares are constantly "clicked" to  make it really seem alive (and bizarre).

you should check out some of the other experiments on yugop  then.
 
  and also, bit-101.com [go to the laboratory and  check out different day's experiments]

Well maybe you havn't heard of these?
  Play a game of 20 questions with artificial intelligence:
  http://y.20q.net:8095/btest
  For me it guessed "building" and "penis" but then was  stumped by "abacus"
 
  google random picture generator:
  http://www.as.ua.edu/~virgil/
  makes random pictures every time! hah.

naturally you had to be the one to post it too... where do  you tend to hear about the existence of stuff like this by  the way?

i whore myself out on a ton of other messageboards.  mostly  web design boards.
 
  twelvestone (waiting for godot) yayhooray (general, or random distractions) were-here (just conversation) ... among others
  there's a wealth of interesting shit that passes through  those sites.

Hmm... I'll try those. I got the same links on  memestreams.net. The internet is a giant labratory for the  study of memetics. Actually richard dawkins really did use  the goodle search engine as a crude way of estimating the  "most imitated" competing memes (for example the newly  coined "meme" versus some other word that didn't succeed as  well)

oh yeah, and k10k is also pretty cool if you're in  to this sort of artsy/geek/design type thing.

The best way though is to find weird stuff yourself by using  carefully chosen google searches. For example the word  "paradigm" or phrase "paradigm shift" seem to be pretty new  words that have not been derivitively replicated by the  masses really and tend to produce great links. Or "insane  genius" or... anything weird "obscure masterpiece" or  something.. or go to sites you already like and find unique  phrases there that might tend to be used in similar sites.  This is obvious probably.
