SHARPEN YOUR MIND, NOT YOUR PENCIL

How many times have you looked up a something in a dictionary or an encyclopedia, only to get sidetracked an end up reading about the coastal swamps of Madagascar, or King Kamehameha, rather than what you were originally looking for? Is that such a bad thing? I say not! That's why I'm recommending this terrific reference site, FunkandWagnalls.com. Whether you need a complete encyclopedia, a thesaurus, a dictionary, a world atlas that's always up-to-date, or if you just want to chill and do a crossword puzzle, it's all here. If you are Java enabled, listen to some famous speeches. You can hear Nixon's resignation, but, alas, you won't hear Dan Quayle spell "potatoe." Becoming a member is free, so why not click on over right now? You don't even have to sharpen your pencil to enjoy the crossword puzzle of the month.
