http://en.wikipedia.com - This threatens to suck me in SO badly. Publicly editable (pending verification) encyclopedia of everything. Wikipedia, I love you. I've already read everything about the Big Band back to the Superstring Era and the Geneaology of the Ptolmey Dynasty (I didn't know Cleopatra had a daughter and two other sons, and Cleopatra is one of my idols!)

Speaking of which, I did know the Ptolmeys had a really messed up family tree, but not THAT messed up - http://www.geocities.com/christopherjbennett/ptolemies/genealogy.htm (And this is the ABRIDGED version)

The Cleopatra's mother (Cleopatra V) married her mother's step brother, making The Cleopatra's Grandfather (Ptolmey IX) her Great Grandfather as well. Her grandmother (Berenice III) was the daughter of Ptolmey IX (The Great/Grandfather) and Cleopatra Seline, his sister. The Cleopatra'shusband, Ptolmey XII is the son of Great/Grandfather, and his OTHER sister Cleopatra IV. All of THESE relatives are from the union of Cleopatra III and her Uncle Ptolmey VIII, and then it just starts to hurt my head.

I'm surprised they didn't start getting genetic problems from all the interbreeding. The did get the Genius, though (The Cleopatra, Cleopatra VII)

Panels 1,2,4-6 of Closetspace are pencilled. I'm planning on having #3 be a photo (or a traced photo)

I'm also seriously considering a run at Tokyopop's Rising Stars of Manga. Personally, I don't think I measure up to Manga (I barely do Anime). But nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Kitchen - Clean - Mopping. Tomorrow, the bathroom.

YiKES! That's cunfuzzling. *_* Hehe...they're family tree is a stick... XD!! I live in arkansas, and there's supposedly some hills in the north-western area of the state where you can find the same kind of stuph (minus the royalty XD!)

I've been out there before, and there's only so many times that you can see an old man sitting on the porch of his log cabin stroking his shotgun before you really have to wonder o.O

Wikis rock. I contribute to the Infoanarchy Wiki (http://www.infoanarchy.org/wiki) I prefer it to Wikipedia because it's smaller and a bit more chatty and fun. There are millions of Wikis, though, a friend of mine contributes to a geography one that just talks about different places in the world and wonderful secret hideaways you can get to... Editing them is loads of fun because you're researching and exercising your brain and learning things. Also a massive time sink if you start following a thread and keep adding more and more and more :-)
