Have you ever wondered what causes a hangover? You're probably thinking "for a degreed person, she's pretty dumb." Well duh. We all know that too much liquor causes a hangover. But do you know anatomically what causes a hangover?
How you ever wondered how a high definition plasma television works? How can they fit all of the stuff that is in a regular tv into a tv just a few inches wide and have the picture be clearer and sharper? (I guess we DON'T have to ask why the HDTVs are so expensive - I think we figured that out.)
Have you ever wondered about military snipers? Do you think that all they do is just get their target in the scope sight of their high-powered rifle and just pull the trigger? Do you wonder how they can lay in the same position for hours, sometimes days, waiting for just the right moment to shoot?
The answers to these and other questions can be found at www.howstuffworks.com. HowStuffWorks is one of the most informative sites I've visited lately. It's divided into categories - electronics stuff, auto stuff, science stuff, entertainment stuff, etc. (I'm sure GoalieGirl will especially enjoy the science and medical sections.) Take a minute to check out the page about "How the movie 'Shark Tales' works" - it was almost as interesting as the hangover article.
