Randy Cassingham's Bonzer Web Sites of the Week: Recognizing Interesting Sites that are Beyond the Microsoft/AOL-Time Warner/Media Megalith

Anecdotage

A collection of amusing anecdotes from interesting people. An example: Winston Churchill was given a demonstration of an anti-submarine weapon. He "watched as the system located a target and a depth-charge was dropped overboard. Moments later, a tremendous underwater explosion rocked the ship and several pieces of wreckage surfaced -- among them an intact door emblazoned with the letters W.C. 'The navy always knew,' Churchill later quipped, 'how to pay proper compliments.'" It's all searchable, or get a random fun, short story.
