FusionAnomaly
What a
neat site! Don't let the name throw you off. There are about 1700 pages

You'll have to comeback to the site several times or you're going to
get an information overload. I visit this site quite often because,
as they say, it is continually morphing. Note: if the animation bothers
you you can always stop with the brwoser stop button.
