The Museum of Unworkable Devices has a collection of perpetual motion machines, as one might expect. -But there's so much more! A physics primer, in-depth profiles of optical illusions both 2-D and 3-D, a bio of master charlatan John Worrell Keely, and a patent collection. They even have plans to expand into a new annex. If that isn't enough, one can even read it all in Portuguese!

Tim Robbins had a few very good things to say at the National Press Club; things certain people - who think freedom of speech means telling fellow Americans to shut up or to watch what they say - should hear. Could it be these people never figured out that Bob Roberts was a satire... of them?

Perhaps you'd like a 160,000 page library on developing your impoverished country, for only $2. You could learn much from a "memeware" attempt to synopsise all human knowledge. If your audience is illiterate, you might try cheap video CDs to spread the information wealth. Fortunately, there is technology to do so that is inexpensive, secure, reliable, and widely available. Yep, people sure are smart. No doubt about it: Today is a better day.

If you don't have kids, but you're still fascinated by working scale models of tanks, you can always build large scale models of tanks and armor such as this 1/3 scale model of a German tank that shoots shotgun shells as well as 22-caliber pistol rounds. Or if you're not interested in being invited to meet the friendly agents of the BATF, you could satisfy yourself by building model tanks that shoot paintballs, and then fighting them against one another.

Some of the biggest and most awe-inspiring crystals in the world are the selenite deposits of the Naica mine of Chihuahua, Mexico. But don't try to take one home if you visit, or you might just end up with a Darwin Award.

The Scots do have a big international holiday like St.Patrick's day. It's called Burns Night (or Day)". It is unfortunately largely ignored in the U.S.A. Although it isn't a deliberate attempt to ingest something more revolting than green beer, it's traditional to eat Haggis for Burns Supper.
