Learn Something Every Day
I'm one of those people who uses phrases such as 'one of those people'. I'm also one of those people who like to learn something every day.

One of the best sites I've found to sate that urge is How Stuff Works. The site offers a huge range of topics, from how Patriot missiles work to how one might make time stand still to how to conquer the perils of quicksand.

Of course, I am not as interested in how the special effect of a lightsaber is produced in movies, as a site which provides an exhaustive analysis, history, and fighting techniques of and involving lightsabers. Obviously for true Star Wars fans only. Check out the wicked cool disclaimer:
