healthy dose of laughter at Daily Comedy, a free website that showcases
some of America's funniest comedians.

Visitors will find new jokes everyday to share with friends, watch
hilarious clips and discover other funny tidbits. Aspiring comedians can

Algebra: In Simplest Terms

For many of us the subject of Algebra caused a considerable amount of
confusion in High School. Students, parents, teachers, and adult learners
will want to check out this website, which is an instructional video on
Algebra you can access online.

Host Sol Garfunkel will guide students through the many facets of Algebra,
and explain how this field of mathematics is used to solve real-world
problems. What better way to learn about Quadratic Equations, Linear
Relations, and Complex Numbers?

SHORT TAKES

a range of his multimedia work ranging from digital prints to animated gifs

The Billy Goat Curse

Many of us have heard the terrible stories of Nigerian scams that rob naïve
Americans of hundreds of thousands of dollars. One creative man makes
light of these criminals by posting a site with regular updates of "Bob
Kema", a Nigerian scam artist whose futile attempts to swindle him do not
lack in perseverance.

Net Broadcaster

Short films are often lost in the imposing shadow cast by full-length
feature blockbusters with large advertising budgets. This is not the case
at Net Broadcaster, where visitors can view streaming video of cool,
independent short films from the comfort of their own PC.

NetBroadcaster.Com is one of the fastest growing online sources for
streaming video, so there is no shortage of quantity or quality
here. After watching some of the cool, quirky, and hilarious videos, learn
how to submit a unique streaming video of your own.

Neptune

A joint project between Canadian and American institutions called Neptune
is scheduled for installation in 2007, with the aim of giving scientists,
geologists, engineers, and educators an unprecedented insight into the
ocean's depths. The underwater observatory will be located on the Juan de
Fuca tectonic plate off the coast of Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia.

Neptune is a regional cabled ocean observatory unlike any other, a complex
network of instruments, sensors, fiber-optic cables, and robots that will
extend from the surface to the sea floor. Check out the site to learn more
about this amazing ocean observatory, the importance of our p***t's
oceans, and much more about the mysteries of Earth's "final frontier".

NotStarring.com

Movie buffs will love this website, which boasts the tagline "Your favorite
stars, and the roles they didn't get". NotStarring.Com is a fun movie
trivia database solely focused on movie stars and the roles they rejected,
got turned down for, or simply got fired from.

Browse the site alphabetically by actor or movie title, and find a wealth
of juicy information about films and actors you never see in the
trailer. Visitors will be fascinated to find out who almost starred in
"The Matrix", which other actors were considered to play "Rambo", and other
esoteric Hollywood "near-misses".

Stylus Magazine's Top 100 Videos

Although MTV and VH1 seem to be pretty occupied with Reality TV these days,
there is no denying the cultural influence of music videos over the past
quarter century. Check out this great list of the top 100 music videos of
all time, courtesy of Stylus Magazine.

An insightful review, as well as a nostalgic clip of the original music
video accompanies each entry on the list. While we won't reveal the
winner, highlights include a great clip by Bright Eyes, a classic from
Radiohead, and memorable videos from the world of Hip Hop.

Dirty Car Art

A dirty back window on a parked car is a tempting place to write "Wash Me",
scribble your name, and leave just about any other friendly or rude message
you can think of. Welcome to the official website of artist Scott Wade,
who has truly taken this devious pastime to a new, highly artistic level.

Dirty Car Art features Scott's creative and experimental work, all of which
has been done on the unlikely canvas of a dirty car window. Scroll through
the gallery to see what the Mona Lisa, Albert Einstein, and the
unforgettable Poker Dogs look like when rendered in caked dust on the rear
window of an old Chevy.
