Where is http://www.zombo.com">zombo.com in this list? Granted it's going on 8 years old, but what other site lets you do anything you want?

14. LOL! You win.
:D Man, is it really that old? I remember back in Governor's School (11th & 12th grade), one of my friends introduced me to zombo.com...kept us entertained for a while. :P Good times.

(Also, www.addictinggames.com. DEADLY if you're trying to be productive!) ;)

21. Then too bad they're so popular.
I'm just the messenger. :hi:

Did any other sites trip your trigger, or do they all suck?

22. No accounting for taste, I suppose - only 2 of those are in my top 100....

23. One of my websites has proven useful to a lot of people around the globe.
Edited on Tue Mar-13-07 09:32 PM by tblue37
It is called Grammar and Usage for the Non-Expert.

I write targeted articles that address specific problems in grammar and usage that even well-educated people and those who are otherwise good writers often have problems with.

24. wooo! thanks a bunch. here's an interesting page from the why files
http://whyfiles.org/123snow/index.php?g=5.txt
"Why does fresh snow squeak and squawk when you step on it? You're hearing the death throes of ice crystals.
snip
"Why is snow silent? Stop crushing defenseless snow crystals under those jackboots for a moment and enjoy the wondrous silence of a snowfall. Braying asses, bleating lambs, even bellowing football fans all fade away in a heavy snowfall.
snip
"Logically, soft, dendritic snowflakes are better at dampening sound than more compact crystals—the increased number of surfaces breaks sound waves into smaller parts. As snow packs down, it gets denser, and the cacophony of modern life resumes.
