Yay bot flies!!
I think the most random things I've researched have been for 00Carter. I have pages bookmarked in my 00Carter folder on the following topics:
Alarm clock detonators
The Bavarian State Library
The Magic Kingdom's underground complex
How to make a pipe bomb (I may want to delete this one)
Parts of a pirate ship
Branches of the Public Health Agency of Canada
Roots: The Book that Changed America
Skunk Ape Research Headquarters
Full text of "How The Grinch Stole Christmas"
A Mandinka-English Dictionary
YouTube videos of figure skating routines by Kim Yu-Na, South Korean Olympic gold medalist
How Zambonis work
36-Million-Year-Old Giant Peruvian Penguin
Wikipedia page entitled "Nick Carter-Killmaster"
WikiAnswers page entitled "Can platypuses kill people?"
I'll leave it up to you to decide which is the weirdest LOL.

Going back to my question from yesterday, I've had it in my head for years that I'm going to rewrite Broken as an original novel with the goal of trying to publish it. I know exactly how I would de-Backstreetize it, while still keeping the elements that made the storyline work as a fanfic: Make Nick a good-looking, popular, high school star athlete, put the other guys in as his friends, and keep Claire essentially the same, just younger. I've had those details figured out all along, but I keep changing my mind about basic things, like what POV to write it in and where it should take place. As a result, I've started writing four different versions of it over the past six summers and have never gotten more than a few chapters written. Fail. For a story that basically wrote itself the first time around, rewriting is a lot harder than I thought it would be! But I like the idea enough that I'll just keep it around until the right inspiration strikes or I come up with a better novel idea. If I ever did get Broken rewritten, the characters and the relationships they have with each other would be similar to fanfic Broken, and the basic storyline would be the same, just in a different setting, but I'd leave out the subplots that made Broken so long and write it in a better, less-cheesy way.

Julie I forgot about researching the underground of Disney! Man I remember writing that part and using that research....
I researched past lives ... and points in history neither are very weird. I did research movies starring Elvis made in Hawaii and the costume director of Blue Hawaii when I decided on that one so that I had an actual person to base it off of. I researched Hitler before WWII and came upon the doctor who cured his eyesight after WWI and researched him for Chronos Project... clothing styles of different eras again nothing that strange that I can recall researching.
