Stumble Upon is, in essence, a web app. You go to the website, click a button, and it leads you to websites based on the criteria you entered. Yesterday, I was clearing out my bookmarks when I found a folder with all the links I came across a long time ago using Stumble Upon. Here at the 5 ones I liked the most, in no particular order.

List of Google Search Easter Eggs
Google has a habit of putting pop culture references, minigames, etc all over the web, which can be entered by searching the right phrase. Like searching "Breakout" on Google Images will launch a Atari Breakout game.
Zipdecode
Someone, somewhere,(Ben Fry) thought it would be a good idea to create a searchable map of all US zip codes. Not only will the map tell you where the zip code is, but it has nice animations too. He has a lot of other projects that were made out of curiosity, but can be accessed by everyone.
Wikipedia: Unusual articles
Wikipedia has thousands upon thousands of articles about literally anything. This list is a few hundred of them that Wikipedia thought were particularly interesting/insane. For example. did you know there is a town called Truth or Consequences in New Mexico? Or that The Magic Roundabout in Britain is actually 5 traffic circles around a 6th traffic circle, and somehow this mess has one of the best safety records in the entire country?
