The Atomic Archive: Just the site to visit if you want a "complex history surrounding the invention of the atomic bomb". It's a comprehensive resource featuring biographies of the key scientists of the nuclear age, including Robert Oppenheimer, the brains behind the A-bomb, photos, videos, maps detailing the damage wreaked by the bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and plenty of highly informative articles on nuclear fission/fusion. Videoclips and animations -- you need QuickTime and Shockwave to enjoy these -- illustrate the frighteningly destructive nature of the bomb. There's also a 'Timeline' that deals with recent advances in nuclear physics and the efforts of governments to limit the proliferation of nuclear technology. The main page is pretty straightforward and easy to access. And depending on how deeply the subject piques you, you could end up spending hours here.

Dog Owners Guide: This online magazine for dog lovers and dog owners offers "more than 300 pages" containing articles dealing with such pet-care topics as breeding, training, nutrition and health. There are articles to help you with everything from finding the right dog to choosing a veterinarian, and since the information is presented in a simple, no-nonsense manner, you had better be serious about caring for your dog before reading the features here as some of the suggestions may prove expensive. There are nine main sections on the home page, including 'Topics', 'Index', 'Features' and 'Bookstore', and since most of the pages are text-based, loading is fast. In fact, there is just too much text and not enough dog pictures here, but there's at least a set of links to other dog sites where you can find some "mutt" shots.

Encyclopedia Titanica: If you've been practically hungering to know more about the Titanic and the identities and fate of her passengers and crew since watching the movie, this is where you should go. It not only offers "over 2,000 individual biographies" based on comprehensive passenger and crew listings, but also contains interactive deck plans, a chronolgy of events and archived film footage and music clips -- more information than the average surfer can digest but the mountain of facts that the trivia addict will scale excitedly. You can also join online discussions about ongoing Titanic research if you think you have your own theories on why the disaster happened. In fact, there's just too much here that'll be of any use to anyone other than hardcores. Still, you won't be able to resist articles like 'The Illegitimate Daughter (?) Of Archibald Butt' and 'The Rich Lady's Maid' whose titles carry more than a hint of scandal.

Facade: Want to know what the future holds? Then this is the online oracle you should summon on you PC/laptop screen. It offers you all the popular ways of foretelling future events, including 'Tarot', 'I Ching' and 'Runes', and even gives you chance to try lessser known methods like 'Biorhythm' and 'Stichomancy'. For example, if you click on 'I Ching', you'll be taken to a page where you can virtually cast three coins or divide yarrow sticks to reference the 'Book of Changes' based on a specific problem or question. The results may seem probable but as long as you're not too serious about your intentions, you'll have plenty of fun at this site. There are also pages dealing with 'Compatibility' and 'Lawyers' here in case you're having love or legal woes and desperately need positive signs.

JamesDean.com: A brilliant site dedicated the ultimate "rebel without a cause", a shooting star who possessed "the intuitive talent for expressing the hopes and fears that are a part of all young people". A short autobiographical essay, part of a high school project, offers an intriguing look into James Dean's psyche at the age of 17. And the 'Biography', 'Filmography', 'Quotes' and 'Racing Career' sections help complete the portrait of an actor who was not only gifted, intelligent and searching but also hungry for life's adventures. Most of the pages contain some rarely-seen photographs, and if these are not enough, you should check out the 'Photo Archives'. You need Flash to really enjoy the offerings but even without it, this official site has plenty to keep you enthralled.

King Arthur and the Early British Kingdoms: Whether or not he really existed, the exploits of King Arthur have fascinated many us from a young age. And a site like this, which apart from exploring the historical evidence for his existence also offers original sources and texts documenting the events surrounding all the key Arthurian characters. The focus on Glastonbuy, the legendary centre of the Arthurian universe, is also absorbing. The 'Timelines', 'Arthurian Biographies', 'Glastonbury' and 'Historical Maps' sections should enlighten those who've never read anything more than brief descriptions of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, and re-familiarize the initiated with the main figures and events. The 'Selected Links' section has more resources for you to check out in case you're not content with the supply of stories here.
