Walking into my grandparents house is like walking into a timewarp into the sixth dimension of strangeness. In the yard alone you will find a Pillsbury refrigerator unit, an old washer, a tire painted red, white, and blue with an American flag, several old ceiling fan/light fixtures, a creepy statue of a boy kissing a dog, another statue of a woman carrying a pole across her back with a bucket on each side, and a hoe (which usually sits in the corner of the yard). I always wondered if my grandparents were the only people with such random objects in their possession, but I have been proven wrong. Similiar to the format of Awkward Family Photos, Crap at My Parents House, allows people to submit photos of random objects found in their parents house.
Failbook
Failbook is a collection of status updates, comments, and postings found on Facebook. Postings range from people commenting on relationship status to foul mouth kids posting inappropriate status updates and forgetting their parents are on there friend list. Some of the posts are realistic, but I'm honestly not quite sure how real any of them are. They may or may not be fake, but they are still enjoyable to read.
Shit My Kids Ruined
When we were growing up, my mom had a shelf above the couch with assorted nicknacks, such as statues of birds and bears. There may have even been some fancy, decorative plates, but I was too young at the time to remember what was exactly on the shelf. While Mom and her friend Vince were talking at the table, I decided to jump on the couch. Mom kept warning me to stop and of course I didn't. In fact, I decided to be even more bold and try to do a pull up using the shelf. Instead of doing a pull up, I successfully pulled the shelf onto the floor, showering the myself with tons of heavy objects. I destroyed everything on the shelf without getting a scratch on myself. Of course, this was in the mid 80's, before Shit My Kids Ruined, a site developed as a way to vent about stuff children have broken. The site includes kids destroying a box of tampons to taking a sharpie marker to the fridge, floor, walls, sofa, little brother/sister, family pet, etc.

| Sample Graph from Graph Jam |
Have you ever wondered what a bar graph would look like for topics such as "Level of Freaking Out After a Scary Movie" or the "Skills I Learned as a Kid"? How about a pie graph on the "Perfect Habitat According to Spiders"? Graph Jam provides just that, along with countless other random topics ranging from video games to gay marriage.
