Here are some links which I find interesting. Some of these links I visit regularily, some less often, and some I have only visited once. I hope you will find something of interest here too!

In his quest for fusion energy in the 1960s, Philo T. Farnsworth invented a device called The Fusor. Among other things, these devices are powerful neutron sources.

The Cuban missile crisis, as told by NSA
The friendly neighbourhood spooks at the National Security Agency will tell you more about this episode which nearly led the world to a nuclear war. The other sources contain additional material.

Weapons of Mass Destruction
Unlike those in Iraq, these ones really exist. Check out for example the Russian Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles. Nasty things. Now that the Cold War is over, for example the R-36M / SS-18 “SATAN” missiles are used to deliver satellites to orbit instead of scorching the planet.

Spices, herbs and recipes. But heed the warning: don’t read while hungry! If you like to use more than salt and pepper, have a look at G. Katzer’s Spice Pages.

As a dessert…
May I suggest a cup of coffee and some chocolate?

Library @ Nothingistic.org

Tourists in North Korea
Scott Fisher visited the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea as a tourist. I found his travel log a fascinating read. The people of North Korea live almost entirely isolated from the influences of the outside world, and are brought up listening to Juche propaganda.
