ETCH-A-SKETCH

Have you ever played with an Etch-A-Sketch? If you're like me, you accomplished a lot of scribbles or maybe, an unsquare square! Check out what a young man has done at this site. It's really amazing.

IS SHE A SHE?
Want to know if the girl you met in a chat room is actually a girl? Using a simplified version of an algorithm, the genie actually analyzes written text and determines whether the author is male or female. I tested it out and, believe it or not, it seems to work (its success rate is around 80%).

WEB TICKLE

Ever wonder what your IQ is? Visit this site to take an IQ test, or many, many others. Of course, they'll try to sell you memberships and such, but you don't even have to give them your proper information if you don't want to! Get a free, throwaway e-mail address and use that when you visit these sorts of sites. Then you'll be able to tell to whom they sell your address !

SPORTS STATISTICS

If you're a sports statistics nut, this is the site for you! There are listings, histories, etc. for the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, as well as college football, NCAA tournament scores, men's golf and tennis grand slam finals. Did you know that on Monday, May 31, 1948, the Washington Senators lost a double-header to the Yankees by scores of 10-0 and 5-4. First in war, first in peace and last in the American League was an apt description of Washington, D. C. when I was a kid! Things have really changed now, and not just because the baseball team left town. (That's editorial content!)
