Barnum & Bailey
|
If you want a "Panoramic Plethora of Fabulous Fun Stuff,"
visit the Ringling Bros., Barnum & Bailey Circus website.
There's interesting history and good stories about today's performers.
You can take the Ringmaster's Quiz or a Circus Aptitude Test, send free
postcards, "Barnumize" your email, design your own clown face, and more.
Really entertaining!

Good now and should just keep getting better.
Example: I found a great list of zoo links to click on.

Project Gutenburg
|
Thousands
of books to download. The cost is just the effort to deal with text
on eye-straining monitors. Occasionally we print out whole books,
and amateur bookbinding has lead to interesting results.

Dr. Ashliman's
Folklore Pages
|
One
of the best folklore and mythology sites on the web. Dr. Ashliman
retired from the University of Pittsburgh in 2000 but continues to gather
and translate folklore and myths. This site is plain as pudding --
no dancing rats, no exploding flags -- just page after page of carefully
prepared text, his life's work. Click on any of his five "WWW Sites"
to find hundreds of delightful stories from around the world.

Old Christmas
Lights
|
It is
Bill's Antique Christmas Light Site and is an amazing labor of love.
It's cheerful. It's fascinating. It's the web at its best.
Bill Nelson doesn't sell, by the way. He just collects. There
is an immense volume of information here, and it is all well and pleasingly
organized. And, wow, what pleasant trips down Memory Lane this site takes you on!
