Are
You a Space Nut?
If you like space travel, than you need to be checking out NASA
Today on a regular basis. Find out what NASA is doing today and
what's next. I've just finished an interesting article I found on
that site all about the International Space Station. And you thought
Star Trek was interesting (OK, maybe you didn't).

The
Unnatural Enquirer
An online humor
magazine that I found absolutely hysterical. Mostly a lot of parodies,
and fake scientific findings. The Visible Barbie Project was hilarious.
In the project the cut up a Barbie doll to expose the insides and
real workings. As well as the NSS (Nocturnal Sleepiness Syndrome)
which lists the ten warning signs, including "Inability to
concentrate on coding, debugging, or homework assignments for more
than twenty or thirty hours at a time." Check it out.

Need
A Manual?
Have you ever
had a product that you lost the manual to? Maybe a camera, computer,
vcr, etc? Well, here's a site that'll help out. They are an online
manual search engine. You tell them what you're looking for, they
try to find a way for you to order a manual. Great idea, if you
ask me.

The
Gender Test
Liven up your dull morning by taking this fun and interesting test.
It is 50 interesting questions long, and takes only about 5-10 minutes
to complete.
You answer a series of questions and then the test predicts whether
you are male or female.
It guessed I was female and Steve was a male from the way we answered
the questions. There are even some interesting facts about men and
women at the very end. Go ahead - I challenge you all to take the
gender test…

Useless
Knowledge, or Is It?
Wandering around
the internet, I found this site full of useless information, quotes,
funnies, and lots of trivia. Check out the word of the day, quote
of the day, in today's history, world trivia and more….
http://www.uselessknowledge.com/
There is a riddle section, "What is too much for one, enough
for two, and nothing at all for three?" Hmm what could it be?
Perhaps, love, a sports car, or a secret?
If you guessed a secret you were right.
Lots of hours of fun at Useless Knowledge.

Cats
are From Mars
They've been
secretly hiding on our planet for thousands of years.
They are making us think that they are cute and cuddly, but no -
they are fiendish aliens from Mars bent on world domination. They
lead you into believing that they are harmless domesticated pets,
but really they've been training you all along to be their slave.
Secretly forcing you to lavish belly rubs and cat nip upon them.
Beware!

This
site isn't for everyone, but we couldn't resist!
Toiletology 101
"This site is a lighthearted but thorough toilet maintenance
course that teaches do-it-yourselfers the mechanics of a toilet, various
types of repairs, and even how to really clean one, an uncomfortably
intimate process involving a mirror and black light. This site even
has a "toilet in the news" section. Completion of the course
earns you lifetime membership in the Society of Crapperologists. You
can even order an official membership certificate - which means of
course, you've earned your papers."
- Virginia
http://www.toiletology.com/index.shtml
This is a very cute site on toilet repair, well done, with great pictures.
I enjoyed the opening page immensely, with the introduction to the
class. Check it out.

Are
you Bored?
Ever have those nights where you just don't have anything entertaining
to do?
Have you seen all the movies you wanted to see, played all your computer
games to the point of boredom, done all your crossword puzzles, and
washed your hair already?
Well here's the site for you.
http://www.bored.com/
Play games, test your knowledge, test the owner's knowledge. I tried
their Who am I? game, where you mentally choose a character and then
the you answer yes or no questions for the host to guess whether you
are a dictator or a TV sitcom character. It was really fun. Enjoy.
