To boldly go where no Web site has gone before, that is the subject of today’s Warped site. Fiction has long been a staple of the science world. Some of the inventions that we take for granted today were long ago thought impossible. Some of them are the direct result of those science fiction stories. Today’s site is right at home in the realm of science and fiction.

The site is named Warped Science Fiction and Fantasy Society. Warped is the University of Manchester Science Fiction and Fantasy Society… what that means is that all members like cool Sci-fi like Babylon 5, and have watched the extended versions of the Lord of the Rings movies. They hang out drink beer, watch films (sci-fi as well as cheesy B-movies, like Braindead, and Evil Ed) play silly games, have curries and generally just have fun with a very slightly SF&F theme. The current schedule of events is posted here, as is their membership (with pictures). Oh, did I mention that this group is located in the United Kingdom?

This site is an example of how small groups with specific interests are using the Internet to promote those groups. Kinda cool if you are looking for something to do and not sure what to do and where to do it. These mates sound like a fun group, so the Warp-o-Meter gives this site an 8.0.
