Informational
Overused Words - A list of commonly overused English words and synonyms for them.
Brightness Illusions - Some neat illusions and a lesson in how the eye interprets brightness.

Video
The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain - ...does a wonderful rendition of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
McDonald's Rap - This is the way to order food.
