------------ The Inner Body An ideal reference site for students or those who just want to know what the doctor is talking about when he refers to your duodenum, the Inner Body uncovers what's inside us all. Pass your cursor over one of ten human systems, from the skeletal to the digestive, to view hundreds of graphics, animations and links, as the inside workings of the human body reveal themselves with each click. Further passes take you through images and text that make you see the entire complex mechanism of the human body as a most amazing machine. innerbody.com ---------- Just Look at Yourself Take a close look at yourself - then take a picture. That's the idea of The Mirror Project, a collection of photos of people taking photos of themselves in a variety of reflective surfaces all over the world. Portraiture more than narcissism, the project started in 1999 with the idea that people are less likely to put on a "happy face" when confronted with themselves. Hundreds of people worldwide seem to agree and have captured and shared self-images seen in store windows, in a spoon, in an ashtray and in their own mirrored sunglasses. Snap yourself and send it in to join the gallery of surprisingly beautiful images. mirrorproject.com -------------- Telecom Talk From fiber optics to telegraphy, those telecom guys give even a common word like 'hit' special meaning. Here, all of those seemingly simple words and indecipherable acronyms like LANs, MANs and WANs are decoded in one easy-to-navigate place. its.bldrdoc.gov --------------- Funniest Joke in the World Telling a good joke may be a science, but Laugh Lab is taking it seriously in a huge experiment to find the world's funniest joke. This site, the stage for the largest scientific study ever conducted into humor, figures everyone's got a joke and is determined to root through them all, let visitors vote using the "Laugh-o-meter," and submit their own side-splitters. laughlab.co.uk -------------------- Guggenheim's Internet Art The Guggenheim, always a vanguard of contemporary art, has created Guggenheim.com, an online destination for art on the web. More than just a lush site of stunning images selected by curators of specially commissioned online works, it's also a multi-dimensional museum. True to its reputation for innovation, the Guggenheim really seems to get it. The art here is showcased not just as image, but also as an invitation to participate. Featured exhibits, like the Art of the Motorcycle, are both image- and info-rich. The Collections Archive holds dynamic exhibitions presented here exclusively. Performance Art offers contemporary masters of theater, dance and music, and the Culture Navigator lists global happenings in the world's most vital arts cities. guggenheim.com ---------------- Federal Reserve 101 The Feds must know that lots of us pretend to understand headlines that blare "Feds Lower Prime." So they created FED 101, an economic education web site geared toward high school kids - but you can bet its closet audience is grown-ups who still think they should just make more money when things get tight. Besides the history and structure of the Federal Reserve System, the site has cool simulations like one that shows how monetary policy decisions affect the economy and the Inflation Simulator, where users can type in a year and a dollar amount to find out what it's worth years later - like a 1950 buck that today equals a whopping $7.39. kc.frb.org --------------------- Source: tricksandtrinkets.com
