This is interesting! When you click on the web site link below, a world Map comes up showing what strange & dangerous things are happening right now in every country in the entire world & is updated every few minutes. You can move the map around, zero in on any one area & actually up-load the story of what is going on. It is amazing when you can see the things that are happening right here in the U.S., sometimes right in your own state or even your city. Global Incident Map: T here is a lot happening in our world every minute. This "map" updates every 300 seconds...constantly 24/7.

Virtual Vietnam Veterans Memorial


A graphic of no importance(From the DNC web site and posted by Michael Link)
This is best thing I've seen online in a while. You can now search the memorial, see an image of the name on the wall, and view other information about the person. If that's not enough, you can then leave a comment or picture of the person, making the website a place where family and friends, who might not have known one another, can share stories.

BIRTHDAY CLOCK  (From Bill Bowker  --  POSTED 6/2/08)


A happy birthday graphicIt tells you how many hours and how many seconds you have been alive on this earth and when you were probably conceived How cool is that? 

This is really cool, fun and most of all, very interesting. After you've finished reading the info, click again, and see what the moon looked like the night you were born. This is neat. Who says our time clocks aren't ticking....
