Curiosity is something built into everyone.  As kids, we tear apart everything we can get our hands on to find the answer to a simple question; How does this work?  Now, unless you’re a 2yr old, you’re probably not going to tear apart your brand new DVD player to figure out how it works.  Even if you do, unless you’re an electrical engineer or some type of uber-geek, you’re probably not going to understand what the hell you’re looking at. To answer these questions, there’s a better way… HowStuffWorks.com.

HowStuffWorks is a very large site of detailed articles explaining how everything from light bulbs to rocket engines work. The sheer amount of data available on the site can be a little daunting.  Luckily, the internal search application for Howstuffworks.com is enhanced by Google, so it’s backed with one of the best search technologies available.  The site is also categorized by sections including auto, computers, communications, etc. So if you’re interested in an overall topic, or just looking to pass the time, you can browse by category.

If you’re like me, (and two-thirds of internet users) you surf the web while you’re watching a movie or TV.  Have you ever been watching a movie and see an actor and you think; Where have I seen them before? With IMDB.com installed in your browser’s search, you can simply do a search for the name of the movie you’re watching and it will bring up a list of the actors, their character names, and a picture (if available) in the results, along with links to other movies and TV shows they’ve been in. IMDB.com not only works for movie titles, you can search for actors, actresses, tv shows, quotes, and more.

Case in point… I’m sitting here watching The Venture Brothers on Adult Swim and I hear the voice of Brock Samson (Dr. Venture’s body gaurd) and I think to myself;  where have I heard that voice before?  So, I do a search on IMDB.com for “Venture Brothers” and find that Patrick Warburton provides the voice.  That’s right, he’s Elaine’s boyfriend from Seinfeld. (and pretty much EVERY cartoon made since 1999)
