TheCutest.info, TheFairest.info, and TheFunniest.info are a trio of side projects to the webcomic xkcd.
They host contests where people vote to select the best choice from a large pool of user-submitted options.
Instead of the usual voting methods
where people rank things or vote things up or down, we let people choose which of two things is better.
Then every few minutes the server does some analysis (for how this works, click here) and comes up with a list of the best things.
It's a good system, and is free of a lot of problems other web-voting systems have, like a bias toward older items.
Note: All these images are user-submitted,
and most have been floating around newsgroups and such for years.
We don't claim to own any of them or, at the moment, have any ability
to keep track of who does beyond what you can see in the source URL.
If any of these images are yours and you want them taken down just
email rmunroe@gmail.com
with the original URL(s) of the image(s).
