The great stork derby
Although snopes.com is dedicated to debunking urban legends the most interesting articles on the site are the certainly the legends which have turned out to be true. This one about a man who left shares in liquor compainies to ministers, a house in Jamiaca to 3 lawyers who despised each other, and the rest of his assets to the woman to have the most babies in a ten year period. Also to be found at www.snopes.com is this tidbit about how Jack Nicholson thought his mother was his sister until her death.

Confluence
The idea is simple. The world is criss crossed with theoretical lines of latitude and longitude. These lines are just an abstract with no real meaning
unless you live in Greenwich, England, but their points of
confluence (where lines of latitude and longitude intersect) have been chosen by the creator of
www.confluence.org as points which can be
claimed by anyone who can get to the spot and take a picture. Sounds lame right? Well the key here is getting to the spots. They can be in the
middle of the desert,
a rainforest or
even the south pole. Who knows maybe there's one in your back yard - well, if you live in
Cambodia where there's quite a few that have yet to be claimed.

New uses for google
Did you know you can use Google for reverse telephone number lookup? This often works even for unlisted numbers, and it returns a handy map of the address where the phone number is registered. We're not sure of what the privacy implications are, but as this search indicates, pretty much everyone's phone number and address is listed it just might not be completely up to date.

1 million dollar DARPA road race!
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency(
DARPA) is sponsoring an off road race from Los Angeles to Las Vegas with a $1 million dollar cash prize to the winner. Any and all entries are welcome and with a winner take all prize that large it sounds like it just might turn into
Cannonball Run III. The catch is that none of the vehicles participating in the race can actually have anyone driving them. They have to be completely autonomous with no link to the outside world, and the race course will be announced only hours before the race begins. So maybe it'll be more like
Herbie the Love Bug, only it's sponsored by DARPA so we guess it will be more like Herbie the
Bringer of Death and Destruction.

Seinfeld script search engine
A new search engine is out and it looks like its going to be stiff competion for Google. Powered by the SSSE (Seinfeld Script Search Engine) even the most obscure Seinfeld references can be identified in seconds. Which episode featured Courteney Cox? Which episode ended with George in a real life game of Frogger? What happened when George, Jerry, and Elaine went to India?

2026: No capture of this page after 2006 survives; this is the 2006 page. The links go where they went then, and many
of those sites are gone.
