they also are cool collector's items. Some

take wooden coins as currency.

National Academy of Mortuary Science
Looking for a new career where you can work in peace and quiet?
Where the customer is always silent? Where no one will be upset
if you eat your ham sandwich on the job?
Then maybe you should pursue a vocation in mortuary science.
Becoming a certified mortician technician
is as easy as opening a coffin. This site tells
you how anyone can train to be a mortician with these
simple classes. There's even a sample lession on the removal
of the deceased. Here's one profession that will never die.
The First Church of Jesus Christ, Elvis
Fans might be worshipping Elvis a tad bit much. In this church,
Elvis is the savior of rock 'n' roll. The parallels between Jesus and
Elvis are stretched, yet somewhat convincing. Elvis may not have
risen from the dead, but many housewives in the South have claimed to
see him wandering around minimarts and Taco Bell.
MetaSpy
If your bored with the Web already, perhaps you should stop
by MetaCrawler's MetaSpy and see what other people are
searching for on the Net.
The site refreshes itself every fifteen seconds to
show you a list of ten subjects currently being searched. If
you see a subject you might be interested in, click on it and
you too can see the search results.
You might be surprised how many weird subjects people think
they can find on the Web. A few of the oddest
search requests included topics like ufology in Ontario and
barbecue dust.
Tamagothi
You probably have heard of the Tamagotchi or Giga Pets,
but have you heard of the Tamagothi? It's the same kind of digital pet,
only they have double the angst and wear a lot of black clothes.
Have fun clicking on the Tamagothi as it morphs into a sullen Mopeygothi
or an angry Industrogothi.
Meals Men Like
If the quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach, then
this site will surely be helpful in securing a Valentine for next year.
Meals Men Like has recipes for artery-hardening dishes such as Frito Pie,
Hawaiian Meatballs and Cherry Dream Cake.
Tiffany Online Fan Club
Now that Deborah "Don't Call Me Debbie" Gibson is making a musical
comeback, some wonder what happened to the other '80s teen queen singer,
Tiffany. On this fan site, you can get info on what Tiffany is up to now,
a complete discography with reviews, a photo gallery and even a screen saver!
The most interesting section has to be the quote page where she talks
about her mall tours and how she loves to shop.
Miss Abigail's Time Warp Advice

1877 and 1977 on such topics as dating, love, etiquette, marriage and more.

want to search your local bookstore for the same titles.
