Take a break from watching American democracy totter and learn a thing or two by playing Bill of Rights Golf, or watch an episode of Who Wants To Marry A Founding Father?

Daniel 3:5 (in the King James version) mentions a number of odd instruments. The flute and harp are well-known, and our readers may know the dulcimer, but how many of you know what a cornet, sackbut, or psaltery is?

African pygmy hedgehogs are fantastic pets. They generally don't bother those of us who are allergic to dogs and cats. They require very little cleaning, but you want to give them plenty of exercise. Unfortunately, they're "exotic" pets and so they're not legal everywhere; and in some places like Pennsylvania it's illegal to import them, so you need to find a reputable in-state breeder. Perhaps the best thing about them, however, is they're almost unnervingly cute.

Lots of people in the United States have never heard of Mervyn Peake. He was an illustrator of various literary classics, but perhaps more importantly, he authored a trilogy of novels about the fantastic Castle Gormenghast and its denizens, particularly Titus, the 77th Earl of Groan, and the tormented, brooding villain Steerpike. I found out about this when I saw a preview on BBC America of their presentation of the BBC 4-part miniseries presentation of the first two novels. It replays this weekend on BBC America, so order your digital cable now, Yankees!

If you can't get enough of real (and not-so-real) things which come in five colours, and you love classic video games, then maybe it's time to pine for the iTari. And then you can enjoy other fine products by these people.

For those of you military buffs who wonder just what the hell those coloured bars on Army uniforms mean, you can find them (and lots of other badge tidbits) at the U.S. Army Institute of Heraldry page. And if you ever find yourself in Yugoslavia wondering if you're at the other end of a gun from a mladji vodnik or a potpukovnik, you'll be glad I told you about Rank Insignia of the World.

It's a pity; when I was a kid, I wanted evil guys to come in flavours, but they never did. Evidently someone else had the same idea and decided to take the problem into their own hands.

I can sleep better at night knowing that the mysteries of the Great Pyramid have been solved at last. Again.

Many of you know about "Mormonism", or the Latter-Day Saints. But not many people outside of Mormon scholars have heard of the Deseret Alphabet, a reform of English spelling which was published in only a handful of books in the 1800s among the LDS Church.

How many times has this happened to you? You and three friends are in a room with no apparent source of entertainment but a pack of cards and a Web browser. Why settle for Poker or Bridge when you could play Stýrivolt, a Danish game which includes birds, postmen, hay-yard mares, and lambs? Or check the index of card games and find something more to your liking.

There's a temptation in popular culture to think that maybe extraterrestrials aren't such bad guys after all. Thank God we have V2/Spread the Word to set us straight. And hey, free stuff! If you don't see extraterrestrials, but you've seen where they parked, try the National UFO Reporting Center instead.

You've thrilled to his words of wisdom on such diverse topics as booze and dump trucks which double as Machines O' Doom. Now check out The Tom Servo Fan Club and enjoy building your very own Robot Friend. There is a less neatly-designed site which however offers a contact for getting hard-to-find parts.
