New York Public Library Digital Gallery

You don’t have to visit New York City to experience a most interesting library. The New York Public Library Digital Gallery website provides users with free access to almost half a million items that have been digitized from its collection. You can search its different sites, including "Arts & Literature," "History & Geography," "Nature & Science," "Cities & Buildings," etc. Then browse through other things that include vintage posters, rare prints, photographs, and historical maps.

2 Ton Gorilla

2 Ton Gorilla is a fast-growing online resource for PC techs. It was rather over my head, but it includes news articles from various magazines, software, hardware, and security information, plus much more stuff that techies love. Registration for 2 Ton Gorilla is free and will give you access to the site's forums, net tools, links, and personal pages. Don't forget to check out the Jungle Shop.

The Top Ten College Pranks of All Time

This is a rather silly section of The Museum of Hoaxes website, but it’s interesting to realize how much trouble people will go to in the name of having fun! Highlights include "The Olympic Underwear Relay," "Theft of the Sacred Cod," and "The McDonald's Affair."

Board Dots

This appears to be a very simple game, but try to win it after the first round! All you have to do is fill all the empty spaces by clicking them! http://www.boredmuch.com/view.php?id=764

 

Happy/Sad/Angry/Calm

Look at the picture. You'd think the angry bloke was on the left and his placid wife on the right. Move back from the screen, though, and you find they've swapped places. What's that all about? You may have to move way back to get the illusion to work.
