You are going to love this
site - especially if you thrive on the crass, disgusting and
the revolting. Its basically an online ad for
Agion, a company that makes
antimicrobial products. But it is great - for kids, for
budding scientists, for those who want to know how to make
their home just a bit more sanitary. Of course, if you just
want to laugh, you'll love it as well. It is the
“That’s Revolting!” site
(www.ThatsRevolting.com,
Press
Release) starring
Florence Henderson, America’s favorite TV mom.
Shot on the original (but
reconfigured) set of the classic ‘70’s TV sitcom that made
Henderson an American icon, “That’s Revolting!” features
Henderson as the mom in a whacked family that’s
inadvertently passing microbes to each other in a series of
over-the-top comedic videos. Florence also plays the perennially cheerful
host, who urges web viewers to ‘Spot the Germs’ before
family members get ill with everything from Flesh Eating
Bacteria to Salmonella. It’s fun for the whole family!

The pirate Blackbeard makes a
return to the modern world through the magic of underwater
archaeology on The Archaeology Channel

Legendary personages are not always purely mythological or
simply the stuff of Hollywood movies: sometimes they are
very real. Such is the case with the pirate Blackbeard, the
subject of Queen Anne's Revenge Overview, the
latest video feature at the The Archaeology
Channel (http:
Blackbeard, the most notorious pirate in the history of
seafaring, met his end on the North Carolina coast in
1718. In 1996, divers searching for shipwrecks
discovered a room-sized mound of cannons, anchors, and
ballast stones that state underwater archaeologists
agreed quite possibly was the remains of Blackbeard's
flagship, Queen Anne's Revenge, lost at that
location in 1718. This video highlights recent
underwater excavations conducted at the site,
representing one of the most ambitious archaeological
assessments of a North Carolina shipwreck. Through the
artifacts recovered from that site, Blackbeard steps out
from the shadows of the past and becomes a tangible
historical figure
This new site
is interesting especially for young women looking to explore
their own sexuality. Amber Madison, a recent graduate of
Tufts University, recently published a book for girls about
safer sex, sexuality, and relationships, (Hooking Up: A
Girl's All-Out Guide to Sex and Sexuality). She has just
launched a web tv
channel, with all sorts of two minute video clips about
things like condom use, relationships, basically anything
sexual. Amber says, "I think that this is a great way to
reach people with information about sexual health, and
healthy relationships." www.ambermadison.tv
