Awfully weird online who's who NNDB tracks the activities of people we have determined to be noteworthy, both living and dead. I wish this were searchable by the crazy labels the inventors came up with. For instance, see these lists of:

people arrested for driving without a license
people of Jewish ancestry
people on the cover of the Sgt. Pepper album

Did you know Albert Einstein's on two of those lists? Really. Guess which.

A bit bloggity on the bottom of the front page, listing who's who in the news just now. Currently:

25-Nov-2005 · Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey officially splitsville ... Schwarzenegger considers clemency for Tookie Williams ... Robbie Williams tour inexplicably popular ... Goodbye Mr. Miyagi ...

All names, of course, are linked to their NNDB profiles.

I don't really know who the infamous Dr. Sputnik is (since he wrote his own NNDB profile, you'd have to trust him on his own history), but this is easily as hypnotic to browse through as the Oracle of Bacon.
