As we approach the upcoming
election season, let's take a moment to remind ourselves that the politicians
we elect will in turn create the laws |
|
To be fair, we should give
equal time to the other side |
|

engine in your car works or what makes the inside of your refrigerator cold? This
site has comprehensive yet concise descriptions of the way things work. |
|

Ghost Detectors and Lex Luther Death Rays, UFO
sensing binoculars and cold fusion devices?? |

Info highway, when things screech to a stop. Is the problem with your
ISP, or is the entire Internet bogging down? Check out this site to

Meanwhile, while we're all
busying moving down the highway, are little green men from outer space
creating works of art in wheat and barley fields all over the world?

Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation", "Top 50 Diseases
Funded By The National Institutes of Health", and this week's Hot Site -

We've all received those urgent
emails with (sometimes) plausible sounding, sincere warnings - usually
accompanied by a demands to be forwarded to every
one we know. Do your part to stamp out junk email - visit the Urban
Legends website and use their database search feature to find out the truth
BEFORE you forward the next rumor you receive! |

Timeless photographs and
information about some of the strangest beasts on Planet Earth.
"The ocean depths are home to a phantasmagoria of bizarre creatures, ranging
from the footballfish to the vampire squid from
hell". Want to see creatures stranger than in any Alien movie? |

See the world - literally as
life happens! Thousands of people have installed small cameras as
computer accessories, and upload the images to the Internet. From Metro
cams that showcase cities all over the world, to Space cams that peer out into
the Universe, this Earth Cam directory site offers you the opportunity to
travel anywhere from your desktop.
Cautionary note: cam sites are bandwidth-heavy and may take quite a
bit of time to download on slow internet connections. |

Darwin Awards is dedicated to
commemorating what remains of individuals who contribute to the improvement
of our gene pool by removing themselves from it via some really stupid means.
Each month, this site features those who self-terminate, rarely on
purpose. Stories like: “Larry and his
friend Silas decided to reenact the William Tell scene where the famous
archer is forced to test his prowess...” and “To catch a heap of fish, a 43-year-old man connected cables to the main power
supply of his home, and trailed the end into the river...” |

YOU doing this weekend? Want to have a
really good time? Then pack up the

|
Ever wonder
where that money in your pocket has been? (as a
parent of teenagers, I know where it’s going...) Now, once again showing the awesome power
of the Internet, you can participate in tracking your ( |

Don't be
misled by the site name - Superbad is supergood! Each
click bring a multitude of choices as you interactively romp through a witty,
brightly-colored (and slightly twisted) online art gallery |

Our second
site contains the results of a contest for web designers. It revolved
around the constraints forced on web masters they struggle to deliver optimal
solutions in a minimal space. |

Wedding Lore |
June is the
traditional month of brides - NFTB is happy to provide a few links, courtesy
of the Urban Legends folks, to answer your burning wedding questions:
Everything you never knew about the wedding dress -- what color and fabrics
draw ill luck and why it should not be tried on prematurely; why we throw
confetti and rice at weddings; why the groom carries the bride over the
threshold. More than you ever really wanted to know!! |
|
Got those
mid-week frayed nerves? Is your boss
making you want to blow your top? |
|
As parents,
many of us are concerned with our children's experiences on the
Internet. One of the best clearinghouses for information in this vein
is the "Largest Internet Safety Organization "
- Cyberangels. Among the many resources they
offer is a great source for information about COPPA, the new Federal
regulations regarding the collection of personal information from children
while on the net. Cyberangels is an
all-volunteer group. |

Summertime is
upon us in the Northern Hemisphere, a time many choose to work on their
tans. Don't have time to get yourself out into the sun? Worried
about sunburn? Thanks to modern wonders of science and the vast
resources of the Internet, you can now get your tan, while working on your
computer! |
|
R.I.P – No Longer |
Along with many
(most?) of the American populace, I'm unimpressed by the major party
candidates for President. With this in mind, NFTB plans to scour the net to
present you with alternatives that might have the "right stuff" to
lead us into the future. |

Can you
improve on perfection? This site gives you a chance to try - you can update
the Mona Lisa for the New Millennium with a nose ring, or maybe give her the
old "Arrow-Through-the-Head" look. Smile! |
