Describes everything from flintlock guns to politics to baby bottles. An excellent site for picking up technical details on arcane topics.

Back to TopInformation Please

Has a dictionary, encyclopedia, almanacs, and atlases. It also has snippets of information about lots of different people from lots of different countries.

Beware: Popup ads in foreground, but they seem to disappear after the first minute or so on the site.
