A few cool places on the web

Not for nothing I’m an ardent fan of TOI. Apart from being the inspiration for this blog's Title, every now and then it comes up with these really cool can't-help-but-get-addicted-to kinda stuffs, the latest of which is MOUSTRAP. Here’s a listing of some of its contents (with my take on them) --

• How Stuffs Work - The name says it all! From the principles of working of ubiquitous things like a matchstick, to the complex mechanism (or physics, Chemistry and what not!) of a nuclear bomb - this is one place where u'll find it all.
• The Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest - All of us have at some point or the other come across "It was a dark and stormy night..... ", which is the most written opening line of a novel. Well for those of who you don't know yet, it is also considered to be THE MOST SICK WAY to start a novel, and this site welcomes entries from public to complete the line, the winner to be awarded as THE MOST WRETCHED WRITER..! (I have a decent chance... don't I!)
• Future Me - How about setting a task for yourself to be done in the year.... say....2030! Well I plan to take a cross galaxy tour in summers that year ;). But how would you remember it? This is one of the most amazing sites which will e-mail you anything which you wish at any day you wish until 2035! Just enter your email address (One which you do not intend to trash away before your appointment day) and the message which you wish to receive on a particular day. And VOILA..! You'll be notified.

Cheers
