Computer Stupidities
The biggest bug in any computer sits on the chair right in
front of the keyboard...that's right, you. The mistakes users
and experts alike make with hardware, software and usage are
gathered, grouped and exposed at Computer Stupidities, where
anyone with a mouse will feel right at home. This site will
make you feel less stupid - or at least not alone with your
computer problems!

Grammar and Language Courses
If you think the irregular verbs and quirky spelling of English
are tough, try learning Estonian. It has one present tense,
three pasts and no future. According to YourDictionary.com's
Grammar and Language Courses, it's one of the world's most
difficult languages to master. To start the lesson, or to
learn Akkudian, Finnish or Mayan for that matter, scroll through
the list of over 100 languages, click on your choice, and
be taken directly to online lessons with audio clips for pronunciation
and practice, find off-line resources on CD ROM and in books
and related links to foreign language newspapers, radio stations
and dictionaries.

Mystery Portal
If you're a believer in ghosts, this is the place for you.
Even if you're not, you might become one after visiting Mystery
Portal! Mystery fanatics with investigation notes of their
own or oft-told family tales that make little ones duck their
head under the covers at night can share their creepiest suspicions
with others at the Mystery Portal.
Haunted Britain, UFOs, crop circles, ghosts of all kinds
and even haunted airfields are fodder for the fans of mystery
who gather here to read the features, updates, articles and
reader submissions. From UFO photographs to legendary "earth
mysteries," like the shape-changing fearsome demon dog
of English folklore, the offerings are detailed and often
accompanied by first-person notes and evidence.

The Virtual Cave
Nature has an astounding way of using its own power to relentlessly
whack away at its own creations to recreate them. Witness
The Virtual Cave, where visitors explore solution caves dissolved
from solid rock, sea caves carved by the ocean, erosional
caves made by particles whipped by wind and water, and lava
tube caves formed by flowing lava.
The amazing variety of caves is explored in words and images
without risk of violating the caver's motto to "Take
nothing but pictures and leave no trace of your visit."
If the keyboard isn't tactile enough for you, links to the
US Show Caves Directory and the National Speleological Society
can guide you to safe and respectful visits to real live caves.
