Human beings collect massive amounts of information over the course of their lives. Everything we see, everything we hear, everything we do teaches us something new, even if we don't realize it. And although most people will tell you that they'd rather die than go back to school, almost everyone loves to learn. It's just hard wired into our brains. And what's more is that everyone likes to share what they've learned with others. In this way, we all become accidental oracles, passing along our accidentally acquired knowledge to be built upon by others. This site just makes it a little easier to do so.


We accidental oracles come from a variety of backgrounds and have a variety of skill sets. Some of us are animal lovers with veterinary training while others are wedding planners or restaurant critics. Each of us has something valuable to share and the capacity to learn even more than we already know. That's the purpose of this site. To allow curious people to build their store of knowledge and to give accidental oracles a venue for publicizing the immense amount of information they've built up on various topics to benefit others.

When you visit accidental oracle, you'll never be quite sure what you're going to find. It might be a treatise on whether all dogs really go to heaven, a discussion on whether organic food is better for you than regular food, or an advice column on how to plan a cottage wedding. Though our articles would be helpful to anyone doing research on those topics, that's not why we've published them. We've published them for web surfers like you who might see the title and get curious enough to want to learn something new in five hundred words or less (short attention spans are another common trait among humans!)

The accidental oracle is a site you should visit often, because we're always adding new oracles to our pantheon and new articles on topics already popularized by our existing oracles. If you play your cards right, you might even get a chance to become an oracle yourself one day! You can start right now by reading some of the topics we've got on display and then talking about them with your family and friends. That way you'll be spreading information just like we do!
