it's kind of funny, really...
Explanation:
This opening statement can be followed by just about anything - but usually by an observation that the speaker finds a little intriguing, strange, funny, or weird. For 'funny' above, feel free to use any of the others, depending on the observation.

Grading comment
I think I will choose this one for now for the fact that the feel of the norwegian sentence or start of sentence :"Det er så rart med det" has this kind of very light touch about it, the other answer is good too, but maybe it reflects a little more heavy.
Like:Det er det som er så rart med det.
