Interesting site list

[aaron]

Something interesting for my very late night crowd again, and those bored at work. This site tells you if your phone number spells anything.

http://www.phonespell.org/phoneSpell.html

I'll try to post anything else I find in this thread also. If you know of an interesting site, don't hesitate to post it.

[aaron]

Here's another, it's the unusual phenomena listing at the FBI. It shows actual documents that have been released because the law requires it.

http://foia.fbi.gov/unusual.htm

[aaron]

An interesting way to display a calendar:

[usm_designer]

the calendar must have been crazy to code. thats tight

[King Kong]

Yea I like the calander Aaron it's really cool.

[aaron]

ok, didn't get on here yesterday, so I'll start the interesting site list early. This is an oldie but a goodie since if you have nothing to do (and you've read everything at myhattiesburg), this site can be an interesting read.

http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/

[aaron]

Here's another good bookmark. It's an online knowledge base with a lot of almanac type facts among others.

If your trying to keep up with calories for a diet or for medical reasons, this site can make it a lot easier.

Cool! I know someone that could use that one!

Hahahahahaha

[aaron]

Here's one everyone with children should know about. Wikipedia. I've posted the url to the entry it has for Hattiesburg. Pretty interesting

Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hattiesburg)

[reality]

aaron, that's pretty cool! the aerial photos are amazing.

[aaron]

Which is actually another cool site to visit. The aerial photos haven't been taken over Hattiesburg recently, so you get a blast from the past to see Hattiesburg in 1996. Or any city you want.

Microsoft Terraserver (http://terraserver.microsoft.com/default.aspx)

[aaron]

Haven't posted in here in a while. Guess I'll post something worthwhile for a change that every citizen could use.

I know there's weird fact lists all over the internet, but this one really has some interesting stuff.

[aaron]

This site will put out advertising slogans for you. Maybe I could find something on there for My Hattiesburg?

http://www.thesurrealist.co.uk/slogan.cgi?word=Hattiesburg

[aaron]

Here's something I just remembered. This site archives the internet. That's right, you can look at Yahoo or Amazon the way it was in 1996!

http://www.archive.org/web/web.php

[aaron]

We hear about frightening statistics each day on a lot of different things. This site takes a jab at these statistics...using bread.

I wish I could have both of those as screensavers or even better, framed on my wall.

By the looks of it, you'd think this is a game, but it's not. Last month, 1.47 million in US dollars was traded between hands for "virtual property" on this site. There's even been some crimes reported, and one man getting killed (in real life) over his property.

I'm going to bump this post for all of these links that I like but probably all of 3 people care about here.

Speaking of Dubai, they're in the process of building the tallest building and structure in the world (http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=burjdubai-dubai-unitedarabemirates).

Not that it's really that interesting of a site, but the building itself is very interesting. It's supposed to be about 1/2 mile tall. They just got past construction of the 100th floor the other day.

Since 2+2=4, it makes everything look like it has 4 sides.
