3. Maybe not-such-a-great-site?
Edited on Sat Jun-20-09 07:19 PM by Tangerine LaBamba
My first reaction was that this was GREAT, and the newseum site is terrific.

But the clock?

Click on "Health," and the alleged number of abortions appears in the lower right corner.

I'll pass on that one, but thanks anyway...............

Earth's rotation is the rotation of the solid Earth around its own axis. The Earth rotates towards the east. As viewed from the North Star Polaris, the Earth turns counter-clockwise.
