10/21/02 - pacronyms - This alphabetical list of acronyms, abbreviations, initials, and common names of federal political action committees (PACs) was prepared to help researchers readily identify committees when their full names are not disclosed on campaign finance reports. (www.fec.gov/pages/pacronym.htm)
10/17/02 - lost in the translation - Using Systran translation software, this site will translate your text back and forth between English and another language five times to give funny results. (tashian.com/multibabel)
10/15/02 - i used to believe - This site has amassed hundreds of anecdotes from people around the world, of things they once believed as a child. Some are cute misunderstandings of a five year old, others are fibs told by parents to keep their children quiet, and some are not so innocent lies told by older siblings. This site is worth checking out. (iusedtobelieve.com)
10/10/02 - filmwise - A great movie fun page. My favourite part of the site is the Visual Quizzes section, where you are asked to identify from which movies various themed screenshots have been taken. For example, computer screens, short notes, images of typewriters or bathtub scenes. (filmwise.com)
10/05/02 - magic cube - While the interface to the magic cube can be a bit tricky, with a bit of work you can create some interesting results. (magiccube.db-db.com)
10/04/02 - fark.com - A great source of news, links and lots of great photoshopery. (fark.com)
10/03/02 - bookworm - A rather addictive game where the goal is to link letters on a board to make words, and the letters dissapear. You must keep the red letters from reaching the bottom, or you lose. (popcap.com/gamepopup.php?theGame=bookworm)
10/02/02 - holdthebutton.com - A clever flash game, with subtle nuances that might escape you the first few times you play. I think it'll probably take weeks of solid play before I can crack the high score list. (holdthebutton.com)
