Flummery Digest
http://www.ora.com/people/staff/sierra/flum/index.htm
Since the early 90s, Mike Sierra has collected "offbeat
news items"
from a wide range of American magazines and newspapers: The
Boston
Globe, Harper's, Esquire, Time, Wall Street Journal, to name a
few. Most of the gems in this vast online collection are of the
proverbial "foot in mouth" variety. Plunge right in.
You'll be glad
you did.

The Laboratory
http://www.ruskin-sch.ox.ac.uk/lab/index.html
Explore the weird and wonderful graphic world of this computer
arts
collective at Oxford University. Gasp as thousands of tiny
electronic
doilies shower across the screen in Martha Fleming's "Rain
of Atoms."
Stare transfixed at the undulating curtain of eyeballs in David
Bickerstaff's "Ubiquity." Pre-millenial tension?
Post-apocalyptic
vision? Who cares, we just like the pictures.

Infonation
http://www.un.org/Pubs/CyberSchoolBus/infonation/e_infonation.htm
Did you know that Liechtenstein has a larger newspaper
circulation
than Malta? Or that Eritrea has a population density of 30 people
per
square kilometer? Bet you weren't aware that Samoa has about 41
cars
per 1,000 people? All true. The Infonation database is a great
source
for up-to-date statistical data on all member states of the
United
Nations. Use it sparingly, lest you be undone by numbers....

A web site that really has gone to the dogs. Find information

shows. You'll be happy to know that this month's featured
purebred is

smorgasboard of
all those demented semi-scientific projects we tried as children.
Ever
make a hurricane machine? What about fake blood? Stink bombs?
They're
all here, along with plenty of others we've never heard of
before. Enjoy! Only, be careful.

Among other things, browse the long-hidden FBI files of Jackie
Robinson, the Rosenbergs, and Amelia Earhart. Find out what the

(in
PDF format) is out there.

Paula Poundstone
http://www.motherjones.com/paula/
She's a famous stand-up comic AND a columnist for Mother
Jones. Is
there anything Paula Poundstone can't do? Okay, so she's not an
expert
on tort reform, but she does manage to cover talking gorillas,
ants in
space, and the intricacies of the new 100-dollar bill. You can't
ask
for much more than that.
