Only YOU can prevent global warming.
By turning off your screensaver and adopting instead a "carbonsaver."
Clock made for the people, by the people
I thought this was pretty cool. It's interesting to see what people were doing at this exact minute in days gone by. (lots of crappy carboard signs, but some very cool ones as well... plus, you can submit your very own!)
via boingboing.
Northumberland Rocks!
More correctly, rocks in Northumberland. With prehistoric carvings on them. Forty years worth of archived information and lots of pretty photos of the historic rock art of northern England. If you live in the area, you can even search using a map and see what rock panels are near your own home.
Life In 2000 AD
- Will it be worth living? From a 1961 edition of Weekend Magazine. And will there be Judges who ride around on big bikes? Via j-walkblog who don't think it is genuine.
Plus: What 1974 thought 2003 would be like. This vision of Christmas 'in the future' genuinely comes from the Dr Who annual 1974. via me @ Nerdfilter

A study finds that sleepy doctors-in-training are as dangerous on the road as drunk drivers.
Medical interns are routinely asked to work more than 24 hours in a shift (in the US and I believe the UK), and afterwards, hospitals allow interns to drive home, exhausted. Should the hospital be liable for any accidents the intern causes due to sleep deprivation?

Wal-Mart strikes back
Today, Wal-Mart took out full page ads in Newspapers across the country. They're just sick of being picked on. Poor little guys. Maybe we should be nicer to them.
Grateful Dead vs Joni Mitchell
Okay,not really...just file this under free music for all the deadhead/Joni fans...
A different "Me and My Uncle"
Deadheads know Me and My Uncle as the Grateful Dead's most-played song.
It usually came in the first set, and was usually followed by Big
River. It was written by John Phillips, first played by the Dead in
1966, and then played more than 600 times over the next thirty years.
As you can see from the lyrics, it's your basic manly western song of
gambling, drinking, and killing.
What most people don't know it that it was sung a year earlier by Joni
Mitchell. She was going by the name "Joan Anderson" at the time, and
sang it on the CBC television show "Let's Sing Out" on October 4,
1965. The combo of the sweet voice and the macho lyrics is wonderful.
Blinkx TV
is a Search Engine for TV. It's "the first Search engine that allows users to search TV across news, sports, and entertainment programming. Just type in a query and go staright to relevant TV clips." SO I tried the obvious with Monkey and then tried a little WMD
From the "Why Didn't They Have These When I Was a Kid" department
: Go to the emergency room in style (links to video on this page).

Curious George:
sorry for the double post! ^_^ .
Anyway, I'm not sure if my friends are playing dumb, or if it's really that hard a question, but they never seem to be able to answer quickly or once...
The question: do you guys have one single word in the English language that stands out as your favourite? It can be only *ONE* word.
