Miss Abigail Advice

Who better to ask for advice than someone who's been around the block a few times? For better or worse, Miss Abigail's Time Warp Advice website fits the bill. Just click "Questions & Answers" and look for something closely resembling your dilemma. Do you think you should eat more vegetables? Abigail answers with quotes from the 1940 book "What Foods Can Do For You." The advice is, of course, wildly out of date. But what can you expect? Miss Abigail is, after all, an old-fashioned kind of gal. Just don't look for advice on setting up your VCR!

Ananova

Ananova is a straight British news site with a twist - the news is read by a virtual anchorwoman. While this green-haired beauty's speech pattern isn't much better than the computer in the 1980's movie "War Games," it's kind of cool to see the news read by a virtual person. You can choose your type of news: regular, light, quirky, and sporty. Once you choose, Ananova will read the news (accompanied by photos and video) in her own inimitable style. If you're tired of The Naked News (www.nakednews.com) but aren't ready to go back to your local TV news heads, give Ananova a try. She won't disappoint.

The Fifth Dimension

I've been a fan of Rod Serling's original Twilight Zone since I was a little kid. That said, this site is an excellent source of material for folks like me. The site includes 485 pages, 3,886 pictures, and 62 sound files, all related to the Twilight Zone. Moreover, there's a message board, quizzes, and even a guide to the Twilight Zone DVD's to keep you busy for many spooky nights to come.

The Loch Ness Monster Cam

Who knew that the Loch Ness Monster was included in the plethora of cams on the Web? In addition to the live cam, the website also offers a listing of books related to the monster, news about the phenomenon, information on the official fan club, and more! If you're fascinated with this Scottish sea dinosaur or just want to try to catch a glimpse of something on the camera, this is a must-visit site. And rumor has it that a Bigfoot cam is just around the corner.
