Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/) |

For a quizzer, this is perhaps the most useful site on the internet. Particularly noteworthy are the regular updates, and the 'also see' section at the end of most articles that will start you off on a never-ending information hunt.

Times' People of the century (http://www.time.com/time/time100/index_2000_time100.html) |
|
Every year, Time magazine comes out with the list of 100 most influential people. The above list is even special as it deals with the entire last century and is a great way to read about special people. Most of the essays can be used as primers to learn the art of writing, right from the goosebump raising introduction to the granddaddy of them all, Albert Einstein " ...he was unfathomably profound — the genius among geniuses who discovered, merely by thinking about it, that the universe was not as it seemed."
