How Stuff Works

Is the cure for cancer a virus? What’s the world’s cheapest car? What if everyone in the United States flushed the toilet at the same time?

These are just a few of the weird and intriguing questions posed by the website howstuffworks.com.

Not only does the web site ask these questions, it also answers them in language that everyone can understand. Each short article offers a wealth of weird and wonderful information!

 

Customized Music

Have you ever switched on the radio only to find there’s nothing to listen to? And just as soon as you find a good song, it ends, only to be replaced by something truly awful.

Pandora is a web site that eliminates this problem. The only things played are what you want to hear. If you don’t like a song, you can give it a “thumbs down” rating. The program will automatically adjust itself to your tastes. The more songs and artists you rate, the better chance you have of experiencing uninterrupted musical bliss.

 

Homestar Runner

Ever wonder what would happen if a strongman, a Mexican wrestler with an attitude, and a ghost were neighbors?

Homestar, Strongbad, Strongsad, and the whole gang have weird adventures every week. For those who enjoy an extra dose of hilarity, check out Strongbad’s emails.
