This Cracked article could've been written by a LWian: 6 Logical Fallacies That Cost You Money Every Day

Yay for the popularization of concepts that should be widely known!

Cracked is great. Some articles suck, but it fairly frequently comes out with things of actual value. It's like Wikipedia with dick jokes.

I'll put in another recommendation for Homestuck. I learned of it from here and it's as good as advertised.

It's basically a web comic of sorts presented in the form of a text-driven adventure game. It starts simply but eventually gets pretty epic, and has very well-developed characters. The general intellectual attitude is pretty compatible with LW. You'll have to be able to enjoy or at least tolerate a high dose of silliness at frequent intervals, however (which results from the partially audience-driven nature of the story. See explanation).

edit: I should say what it's actually about too: It's a drama/comedy about some kids that get sucked into a powerful video game, with loads and loads of meta (and eventually, loads and loads of characters, although it starts off gently enough).
