Link farm with techno-veggies

The good: EarthPortal, a new site that's everything climate- and environment-related. I could browse its Encyclopedia of Earth all day. Environmental impact of the Civil War, anyone?

The so-bad-it's-good: The It's Alive math workbooks. I saw a friend's copy of It's Alive and Kicking last night at our homeschool group's curriculum "petting zoo," and I knew I must have these books for Rocketboy and Hurricanehead. Sample problem:

"Mucus moves through our body at the speed of 5mm per minute. If you were riding in a tiny, mucus-powered bus through your body, how long would it take you to go one meter?"

And the veggies: Ladies and gentlemen, the Vienna Vegetable Orchestra. If you don't have time for the whole thing, at least watch them make the instruments and check out the dance music starting at 4:20.
