Pennies Stack Up
Stacking pennies is the subject of this site. Now it may sound a little foolish at first but you really must view the photos of penny stacks.

Find Out More About Yourself by Visiting the QuizFarm
The QuizFarm is a collection of self analysis quizzes that have absolutely no scientific basis that I was able to find. The quizzes cover such topics as: "What High School Clique Do You Belong To?" "How Will You Die?" "What is Your Sexual Style" and a whole lot more. If you don't like these quizzes you can manufacture one of your own and then post it. Most of the quizzes seem to be aimed at the high school demographic.

Whole New Meaning to What's Your Sign
The Birthday Calculator gives a whole new meaning to the old "What's Your Sign?" pick-up line. Not only does it tell you your sign, but it also tells you what day of the week you born, the date of your conception, how old you are in years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds and even dog years. Then it tells you your stone and your tree. How many people were born the same year as you? How many died? It goes on and on with interesting information about your birth.
