"STUFF" - interesting web sites that might not fit anywhere else
Watch
out for computer virus
hoaxes -
you know, those
URGENT
messages you get from well-meaning but unknowing friends who pass on every
chicken-little report they hear. They can cause more trouble than real
viruses. Check here for virus
hoaxes, for the
real story before you forward that message to everyone you know. And for
the rest of the hoaxes, like missing children, sending postcards to the sick
little girl, getting a free trip to Disneyland or Applebee's, check
here before bothering your friends!
Attend Harvard - Free!
There are lots of lectures presented by the professors at Harvard that have been recorded and can be heard here
How would a
physician describe that bump on your knee? What does a carpenter call that
strange tool? Learn the vocabulary of Australian bushfire fighters.
For thousands of glossaries, look here.
Pun
of the Day - Seven days without a pun makes one weak! Start your day
with a groan
Museum
of Musical Instruments - The MoMI encompasses a mixture of history and
design expressed through instruments, artists, and their music - look, listen,
learn!
The
Harry Potter Lexicon - Claims to be "The Ultimate Harry Potter
Reference", and it appears to be - besides links to other excellent Potter
sites, there are pronouncing dictionaries, links to resources about mythological
and other references in the books, themes in the books, including the prejudices
shown by muggles and wizards towards each other, Rowling's use of descriptions,
and much more for reader and teacher. This is not a "fan site".
