SpookyLand

The Traffic Accident Reconstruction Origin site
If you commute to work every day, you'll probably rubberneck at the aftereffects of a car wreck at some point. But do you see the wreckage and often wonder what exactly happened? On the Traffic Accident Reconstruction Origin site, you'll learn how to piece together what happened in an accident just by looking at the dents in the car. Go to the Approach Angles section of the site to see case-by-case studies of accidents. There's even a section on what skid-mark lengths can tell you about a particular accident.

License Plates of the World
So you're driving along the highway and you see a weird license plate with a palm tree on it. The car might not be from Hawaii but Argentina. Check the License Plates of the World site to see what kinds of plates have interesting logos or sayings. So far the coolest one is still "You've got a friend in Pennsylvania."

Morse Code Translator
Sometimes I just want to quit work and .--- --- .. -. / - .... . / -.-. .. .-. -.-. ..- ... .-.-.-. If you knew Morse Code, you'd see that what I just said was complete gibberish. Go to the Morse Code Translator and type in any old sentence. When you submit it, the words are translated into morse code, and you can hear the actual beeps.
