| 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

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!)
