The internet and the communication revolution made every thing possible, whatever the thought is if you can make a profit out of it then it's a business and it's doable.
Take Facebook or google for an example, they are changing human lives each and every day by giving services that wasn't even possible 5 years ago.My bet is on technology always, I trust the humans will to change and advance will always make anything possible.
Since your are asking about "odd businesses", I can refer some news that I´ve read the other day, that a guy in UK is selling bottled air for the Chinese market for US each bottle...this is odd :)

I would like to say ”not odd” but opportunity in "Niche" which are really unique business opportunity supported by IT and when correctly pursued give you a lot of profit.
Agree with Mr.faizur rehman
Medicine and IT for sure. First one because we even do not imagine what specialists do in their laboratories to save us for diseases, cancers etc. Second one - I remember the time when there was no Internet and people used to talk to each other, send paper CVs to companies or not having cell phone and look at us right now. We do not each other but can exchange our thoughts and knowledge. I even can't imagine what will happen in few years.
I'll agree with Mr.Rami Abbas and Mr. Fazlur Rahman's answers.
I would personally be quite thrilled if society moved towards zero marginal societies.
We have come to a stage where we have market for everything. Technology has made buyer and seller come together.
The best example of odd business can be food industry, you can sell every animal to the customer and people are ready to try.
Openness to try different things is the success to odd business. Who had ever taught that we will end up in a situation that everything is available at finger tips. Medicines have also come online. you can order from any place and the medicine will be delivered at the door step.
Technology has changed the face of modern business.

Specialized software shapes best-practices and industry standards, continually changing the face of business in almost every way.
Production TechnologyProduction technology has allowed modern companies to make great strides in operational efficiency and the effectiveness of human resources. Automation technology, such as assembly lines and computer-controlled machinery, can allow companies to produce unprecedented volumes of goods, and advances in transportation technology allow businesses to ship their products anywhere in the world. Information technology has also changed the way that companies operate internally. Personal computers have become a necessity for a large majority of corporate jobs, and many manual labor jobs require the use of a handheld computer or other electronic device as well.
Communications TechnologyLeveraging advances in communications technology is imperative to surviving in the modern business world. Advances in cellular phone technology have revolutionized the way businesspeople communicate with clients, employees, suppliers and strategic partners. The Internet has revolutionized the marketing function in addition to opening up a wide range of communication options.
