STUPID VIDEOS

This is a site that lives up to its name but you might find a few funny items here.  I really didn't think it was better than America's Funniest Home Videos, but then, I don't think much of that show either.  It has  hundreds of videos of people doing stupid stuff: pranks,  accidents, funny animals, crazy stunts, etc. Just like America's  Funniest Home Videos but much better. Sort the videos  alphabetically, top rated, bottom rated, most watched, least  watched, and by the newest videos.

INTERNET PUBLIC LIBRARY

I learned of this at a SIG recently.  It has all sorts of books and reference material  you can download and read at your leisure.  It's a public service of the University of Michigan School of Information and contains almost anything you'd like to know - I think. 

Give it a try at http://www.ipl.org.

BRITANNICA

This is another information filled site that I'm sure I've mentioned before.  It contains the content of Encyclopedia Britannica, at least in a limited form because they're still trying to sell their "million book" printed version.  It's well worth a look, though.   Visit this site for any of your history, status, or bibliography needs.
