Derek Jitters: Somebody likes coffee. This one guy called Winter has visited nearly 4,100 Starbucks locations in the U.S. alone, plus nearly 200 more in England, Japan and right here in Canada. That's actually most of them. His goal is to visit all of them - each and every Starbucks on planet Earth (and wherever else they end up building them). And he documented his bizarre mission on the Internet. So what's Winter like? He compares himself to Beavis's alter-ego Cornholio, so basically, an espresso-fuelled freak. Get really tired and sweaty at www.starbuckseverywhere.net.

Creepshow: Here's something other than caffeine that'll keep you awake at night. This site is good old-fashioned nightmare fuel. The South Carolina Sex Offenders database is a searchable listing of every registered sex offender in that fairly rednecky state, complete with photos and a short biography that includes the crime that got them locked up. A surprising number got nabbed for "peeping." Take a peep for yourself at www.sled.state.sc.us/default.htm.
