Personality
Test
Try Colorgenics, a personality test based on color. You choose colored
cubes in the order of your preference, with the one you are most drawn
to first until there are no cubes left. This determines your personality
traits based on color. After you are done choosing it generates a
personal profile made just for you based on your choices. I was surprised
how easily it applied to what's going on in my life, and it only takes
about 5 minutes of your time. For some easy fun check out Colorgenics.

Wildlife
Gardening
Ah…it's almost February, it's time to start planning your garden.
Would you like to attract birds or butterflies to your garden? Or
would you like to turn your garden into a wildlife habitat? Just think
of the countless hours you can spend watching squirrels, chipmunks
and other animals romp through your garden.
Maybe you'd like a natural bug zapper? So that means you need a garden
that attracts bats. That's right they're natural bug zappers, and
much safer than those annoying electric zappers. Well, if you're curious
and love wildlife, here's the site for you. It has tons of articles
on how to do all of the above and much more.

Powers
of Ten
View the Milky Way and zoom down until you get to the atoms of a single
cell. Each time you zoom in you see a new picture that's 10 x closer
than the previous one.
Here's how it works:
Starting at the Milky Way, each picture gets 10 times closer until
you are seeing our solar system, then earth, then Florida, then a
tree, then a leaf on the tree, then the cells on the leaf and finally
you zoom in to see the protons and electrons.
Runs in a gradual slideshow or you can use the navigation buttons
to zoom in and out. Very cool. Check it out!

Loch
Ness Monster or is it?
A very well documented site on the existence (or lack there of ?)
of Loch Ness monster.
Have you ever wondered if Nessie really exists? I was intrigued by
this site and wandered around it for the better part of an hour. The
site includes a list of sightings by date, pictures, and links to
other Loch Ness Monster sites.
Some of the photographs are really unbelievable: one looks like a
rock, another the part of a ship or a smiling serpent-creature- not
my idea of the Loch Ness monster at all. The site does have a lot
of interesting facts, so decide for yourself - Is the Loch Ness monster
fact or fiction?
