A few days ago, I linked you to a place where you can publish a cookbook. Well, here’s a place where you can publish your poetry.
Quotes, randomly or by author or by topic.
There are a couple ways to look at this next one. You can be serious or joking. I suppose you could be a little of both, such as when I thought it was funny until I realized I had a problem with line EF. It’s an interesting take on combining the 7 deadly sins.
How to Remember What You Read.
Enjoy the Science of Cooking, because anytime you can combine eating and learning, it’s a good thing!
A photogallery. In German. But you don’t have to read German to enjoy it. Galerie, when read phonetically, still says gallery.
Listen to free audio books. There is some great classic literature here!
Look at amazingly awesome photographs.
Edit your own good-but-could-be-better shots with the Free Online Picture Editor.
Watch some religious videos.
Read Dave Barry’s Pearls of Wisdom. Some of them are actually good, and by good, I don’t just mean funny.

King Padibastet’s Tomb–a virtual museum. Yes, seriously.
American Rhetoric
This is a portal to some of America’s greatest orations. Let’s just note for the record that all of them were made before drug rehabilitation became a pressing national concern.

Petra: Lost City of Stone | American Museum of Natural History
Another virtual exhibit, wonderful photographs!

Traveling Wilburys. Because, hello? Tom Petty plus Roy Orbison. Duh!

I’ve watched him become a bizarre white woman over the years, and the transformation has amazed and appalled me. Now you can take a peek at the many, many faces of Micheal, too. It’s a quick read, and good for a chuckle. You simply cannot tell me this man has not taken too many energy pills for his own good.

Bourne Ultimatum: We added “off the roof” to our dictionaries with this one.

Now, make sure you have adequate car insurance, look at gas prices, fill up anyway and hit the road. Travel the Great American Highway, or see it all East to West. You, too, can be a Thelma or Louise. Only, you know, the fun parts, not the sad or illegal parts.
