Anyone who has read my blog (and really, has anyone read my blog?) would quickly get the impression that I frequent the BBC News Web site and they wouldn't be wrong. It's my Home Page and a popular destination for just pokin' around. That's how I found their Science & Nature - Space - Games and Quizzes section. Golly, this is a neat page. And it reminded me how much basic science I have forgotten. You try putting the planets in order just by looking at the pictures and see how much you've forgotten.
However, it was MSNBC that alerted me to Britain's ban on fox hunting, not the BBC, though it is the lead story on the latter's UK page. The former is also a good site for news because of its's breadth of coverage (on the US, not the world) and it's easily navigable. It may not have the depth or gravitas of the BBC but I still look at it almost every day.
