How Stuff Works

I just stumbled upon this site today and I have to say it's pretty amazing! It tells you about how all kinds of stuff work; everything from computers and the Internet to science to money to people and beyond. It even talks about how some science fiction stuff (like time travel (http://science.howstuffworks.com/time-travel.htm)) will work, if it even works at all.

I'd say we could probably develop some pretty interesting discussions on this stuff, right in this here say *cough* forum *cough*. Check it out (http://www.howstuffworks.com/)!

i saw that site too, and i visit it every few days. it is a great site, with so much information. it also has great ways of teaching you how stuff works with pictures, diagrams, etc. if any of you guys haven't been there yet, i would definitely check it out.

Yeah, that's a great site. Thanks for the link Shrek. I've never been to that site before.

I read the thing about Time Travel. It sounds so complicated. It was interesting though.

great site, too many ads though.

Look at their thing on how plasma TVs work. It is interesting... ;)

For those of you worried about being drafted, find out how the U.S. draft works (http://people.howstuffworks.com/us-draft.htm). ;)

very good site.

Yeah, excellent site. I first came across it last year when I decided I would learn about how turbo chargers worked. Great stuff! (The site that is, not turbo chargers... well, them too. But you know what I mean)

>(scem) great site, too many ads though.

Someone isn't using their pop-up blocker web browser, Safari. :)

First time exploration for me, as well. Absolutely nuts!

Look at their thing on how LCDs work. It's even more interesting! :D

I thoroughly enjoyed their article on how the Concorde operates... ;)

the only thing that bugs me about that site is all those dumb inches and cubic feet and ***** :p

Use Mozilla 1.0 or greater. It has a pop-up ad blocker. :)

Check out their article on spiders (http://computer.howstuffworks.com/spider.htm). It's really creepy! :eek:

I checked out hypnotism and how they get people to act like chickens. Knowledge is power.
