Kristina Sheryl Wong strikes again with a hot new blog that instructs the reader in the fine art of getting heavy discounts on your cell phone bill at:

It's very funny and informative - the ladies should especialy get a kick out of this one.
MSN ruminates on the ten worst films of 2003. I usually wouldn't bother with recommending such a page, given the source, but it actually covers a few films that I never even heard of, and a few that (unfortunately) I did. That's at:

Gang, this next one I really love. "Don't know much about history" is a line from a song that has become something of a tag in recent times, the implication being that it's okay for a person to not know much about history, as most people don't know much about it and that those who do are boring people.
So, if you think history is boring, don't read this page. But all my life I have wondered about the portions of history which are largely unrecorded for the lack of writing systems and iconography. I neither wholly buy creationism nor Darwinism, which to my mind are no more than educated guesses at why man is here and what we humans were up to in the 1,494,150 human years which predate the known invention of systems of writing. Certainly we were doing something besides scratching our butts and conking each other on the heads with animal bones.
In Southern Greece there is a cave which records continuous habitation for some 17,000 years of this missing time. Its relics and artifcats end at the beginning of the bronze age, at which time the first European writing systems began. The various periods of habitation in the cave document dietary trends, methods of burial, the evolution of certain types of pottery, even pinpointing when the residents of the cave began to fashion fish bones into fishhooks.
I love to be in the know about such things, and this site from Dartmouth tells it all. Take some time to read and enjoy this tale of man's evolution that is far more interesting and truthful than anything either Darwin or the committee that wrote Genesis down in about 550 BCE had to say on the matter.
