Three things: Nerdy stuff I looked into:
1. How computers play chess. I already knew "how" they worked, but I found that site while trying to end a debate about whether the computer would assume human error, which I thought would not be true...and it's not, the computer assumes perfect play.

2. How dolphins sleep without drowning. Another howstuffworks page. I heard about the one-hemisphere-at-a-time method in class, and I had to look into that. How efficient would that be?? I love going to sleep too much to trade it in for more study time.

3. I'm not going to waste time thinking up another thing I've searched (though I did seek and find descriptions of that Paris Hilton video. It sounds like a hoot.) just go to www.howstuffworks.com and find something. All of their articles are good.
