David Darling's Encyclopedia of Science

I accidentally discovered something wonderful and exciting on the internet the other day. It calls itself "The Worlds of David Darling" and the main page contains two links to archives of knowledge called "The Internet Encyclopedia of Science" and "Encyclopedia of Alternative Energy and Sustainable Living". If you scroll down the page, you will find links to articles about recent science news concerning topics such as antigravity, supermassive black holes, and other fun things. Although it doesn't go into in-depth details for most, it gives some interesting links to visit.

Here's one of my favorites: Educational Games from Nobel Prize.org . I must confess, I couldn't beat any of the ones I tried (all I tried were a few from the medical section). I dare you to see how long you can stand the Mr. Split-Brainy game. I was fed up after the first coffee break. There's one with an excellent name and description, but I haven't tried it yet. It's the Nuclear Weapons game, and here's the description: "Take on the mission to disarm the world of nuclear weapons with the help of eight 'Peace Doves!' " Yes! I can't wait to help the Peace Doves! It's what I've been aspiring to do throughout my entire life. It will give me purpose and meaning...
I'm sick of the existentialist books we're reading in English class.
