Virtual Puzzle

If you like jigsaws, try this one for something different. "White Jigsaw" is a virtual puzzle game that uses no pictures but is highly addictive. I could do it, so you know it’s not TOO complicated! http://www.gamedesign.jp/flash/whitejigsaw/whitejigsaw.html

 

My Beautiful America

This is long, but there are lovely pictures from every state. Very nice musical background, too. http://oldbluewebdesigns.com/mybeautifulamerica.htm

 

Britannica Concise

Britannica Concise is a complete, 28,000-article, single-volume encyclopedia from the editors of Encyclopedia Britannica. It’s really more like a detailed dictionary, but appears to be free. You can reach the full site from here, but some of that requires a subscription.

IQ Test

If you think you are quick mentally, try this. See how smart you are. http://www.richstevens.com/flash/iq.swf

 

Test your Punctuation

Inspired by the successful book "Eats, Shoots, and Leaves," this game consists of 20 questions that will test your punctuation skills. If you get some wrong, don’t worry. We all have our own writing styles! http://eatsshootsandleaves.com/ESLquiz.html

 

Internet Recipes

Amateur chefs, aspiring gourmets, and loving parents will all appreciate the Recipe Source website. The site is the new home of the Searchable Online Archive of Recipes (SOAR), which allows you to search through literally thousands of delicious recipes.

It’s easy to search the database, and you’ll find recipes for most everything.

The History of the Internet

Did you ever wonder where the internet REALLY came from? Of course you did - it couldn't possibly all be Al Gore! Well - here it is - the real truth! This made me laugh out loud! http://mywebpages.comcast.net:80/singingman7777/Beginning.htm
