This page is devoted to links to interesting web sites and/or cool video clips I have found.
To start off, here is a link to gotpsi.org, a site by the Boundary Institute which has several tests which supposedly test ESP and remote viewing ability. I really only am interested in the Remote Viewing portion. It is of particular interest when you realize that the CIA/US Air Force had a remote viewing program from the 1970s to the 1990s. It was eventually shut down because it was deemed that the program never offered any actual valuable intelligence. Still, some proponents of remote viewing still claim that it is the only discipline in so called 'psychic' fields in which practitioners can improve their ability over time and perform above the odds of probability. At any rate the Remote Viewing test is kind of fun to do. Here is a link:

Everyone knows ted.com, so I probably don't need a link to their main site. However, I do want to link to one of the coolest things I have ever seen. If you like marine biology, you'll love this! The link will take you to a video clip of a TED talk by David Gallo. The part of the video that interests me in particular starts at 4:20 and goes to the end (about a one minute segment).
This is a video about grammar which is both educational AND fun! Made by College Humor. Link goes to the video on Youtube.
Here is a link to my cousin's speech at a Mormon Transhumanist Association conference in Salt Lake City. I should note to non-LDS people that this is not an official Mormon group, but a subset of thought not officially tied to church belief but which follows a line of thinking I tend to agree with. If you want official LDS doctrine, I will paste a link underneath to one of the church's official web sites:

There are a lot of fake facts and misattributed quotes flyin' round the internet! The people at Snopes do the research to check the claims:
Viooz is a good site for watching movies. No registration required and it doesn't simply send you to another site like many movie sites. However, it may throw up a couple ads which you'll need to close.
Sure, you know all about the 'upper class' of Wizard Society from Harry Potter. But what about the inner city kids who can't afford Hogwarts? A sketch from College Humor:
Another College Humor video, this one on Youtube. A great parody of 'Empire State of Mind'. Better than the Original!
