Do you love your pinball machine, but constantly wonder about how it works? Of course you don't. But I'm sure some losers out there do, and for them there's www.howstuffworks.com. Besides finding out how a pinball machine works, you can learn the working secrets behind bone china, doorbells, that crazy wall-mounted singing fish, stun guns, state dinners, the Amish, and also what happens if you shoot a television (including a nifty video). They also explain how Friday the 13th works (um...it's a day? Is there more to it?), and how the fear of Friday the 13th has the clinical term paraskevidekatriaphobia. And if you're really into this kind of stuff, they explain how a flying car might one day work (along with a little shpiel about inventors of past flying cars, and the little tidbit that a handfull of these men died trying to fly in their cars). Did I mention the video of the guy shooting the TV?
