I love random information.
Here are two great articles from one of my favorite sites, Damn Interesting
The first up is titled Amoebic Morality, and is about how single cell organisms can come together and cooperate, even sacrificing themselves for the greater good. Fascinating.
The second is the (true life) story of the origins of Assassins. Almost a thousand years ago, actually.
Have fun reading!

I don't know about you, but to me there's just something inherently wrong with a dolphin sticking you with a hypodermic needle and pumping you full of CO2 so that you die and your body floats to the surface.

Craigslist Meets WallStreet
Wow - great, honest response to a woman that is looking "to get married to a guy who makes at least half a million a year." Good read. Check it out.
And in the same vein (kind of...in a way) - proof that:
There are no unattractive women
Amazing what a few hours of beauty treatments and makeovers can do.
BTW, this is from a great, often inspirational site called Sonnyradio.com
Explore around a bit, it's got a lot of great stuff.

I love tehnology - just imagine the possibilities with this product:
New plastic is as strong as steel, and is transparent
Very cool.
This is pretty cool too.

Intelligent cat door - or "Flo Control" as they like to call it.
Might sound kind of strange, but actually is a pretty cool project.

Wow - Every woman has beauty. The proof is in the pictures.
The question is can she afford to show it. A free makeover can help.

Spider-Man 3:How It Should Have Ended - Hilarious and oh so true
(most all the "How it should have ended" clips are good)
AND...you have not lived (or at least laughed really good" until you've seen the Indian version of Superman...just watch the clip

10 Best (Worst?) Animated Movies for (Traumatizing) Kids
Kind of ho-hum till you get to the end (though I agree some of the mentioned movies are not kid flicks (see: Hunchback of Notredame, etc), and Watership Down is kind of violent, but the last one was so funny I nearly fell out of my seat. Wow.
