The current energy hype focuses on hybrid engines and fuel cells, but neglects the efficient and safe external combustion engine. Robert Stirling's hot air engine was invented in 1816, before the science of thermodynamics. A large number of Stirling Engine models and kits are available, some beautiful, some precise, some simple, and some functional. The best, though, is the Stirling engine powered clock. While the technology may be a little difficult to understand, you can still make your own from test tubes or Coke cans and AOL CDs. Of course, they not as fun to say aloud as Wankel Rotary Engine.

Tired of those geek paper dolls? Try Dame Darcy's Flash-enabled Paper Doll Fun. What could be more fun than dressing up siamese twins, Igpay the pig, and a shrimp named Scampi (who actually has no possessions and can do nothing but rattle and insult you)? I'm sure I can think of something.

When you are participating in extreme sports like the extreme street luge, extreme wrestling, extreme bull riding, or extreme kite surfing--or next time you are on an Extreme Road Trip, take a minute to think of the lesser extremes. Unsung heros brave their lives for less popular extremes like extreme golf and extreme pinball while listening to extreme music at extreme temperatures or watching Extreme Ghostbusters. Think about the extreme programmers (some of them even use Visual Basic) and extreme engineers who develop extreme christmas lights and extreme software like Extreme Linux while drinking extreme caffeine. Try not to think of the extreme colon cleanser.
