Well, here we are again. I've been looking at my favorites list again and found some more sites I think you might enjoy!

1. http://physics.nist.gov/GenInt/Time/time.html "Time...is on your side, yes it is!" Especially if you check out this site, brought to you by the NIST Physics Laboratory. This shows how humanity has marked the passage of time over the ages. If you're into time, you'll love this site.

2. http://www.switchzoo.com/zoo.htm Kids of all ages will enjoy this site. You can create your own animals by mixing various parts. You pick a basic animal and then change various parts to assemble your very own unique creation. And you learn interesting facts about animals along the way.

3. http://www.barcodeart.com/art/art.html Another creative art site shows just how much can be done with bar codes. I was totally amazed...

4. http://www.upennmuseum.com/hieroglyphsreal.cgi The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology has this site. It's called "Write Like an Egyptian" which I think is pretty appropriate right now. Type in your first name (up to 16 letters) and the site will inscribe it into hieroglyphs.

5. http://www.quotationspage.com/ This site has been around since 1994 and it's the most comprehensive source for quotations I've found. If you remember part of a quote, this is the place to go. If you need a quote about a particular topic, check here.

6. http://www.eeggs.com/ No, this isn't about Easter Eggs you hide outside for the kiddies but it is about Easter Eggs. You know, those little goodies hidden by programmers for people with too much time on their hands to try and find? I had NO idea there were so many of the little creations floating around!

7. http://www.yuckles.com/catsounds.htm Okay, this one is really different. It's titled Sound Effects For Your Cat and it's motto is "Better than catnip because it's reuseable." I'm not going to say anything more; just check it out and WATCH your cat's reaction.
 
thank you, number 4 has been quite helpful as the boys have to finish building their pyramids, they have to have some hieroglyphics in them.
 
You're most welcome. If you get a chance, let them spend some time at the switchzoo site. I'm pretty sure they'll enjoy it!!!
