We're all familiar with "Optical Illusions", in which we're tricked by clever images into seeing things that aren't really there, or static images which appear to waver, and a host of other tricks played upon our notably visual sense. But fewer of us are familiar with "Auditory Illusions", (by which I don't mean the 1st date post-mortem in which one partner tries to recall if he/she heard "I love you". . .). For a quick introduction try this link:

It doesn't end at Wikipedia, but too often I find I'm in the habit of finding one source for the information I want and not digging further.
The Internet Archive is a site "with the purpose of offering permanent access for researchers, historians, and scholars to historical collections that exist in digital format.". It kind of recalls the ideals of the internet, doesn't it? Link here: http://www.archive.org/index.php

Somedays thinking above 2 is tough enough. On that note, perhaps follow this link to learn a little about the classic novel "Flatland" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatland.

And sorry, this is just so fitting I couldn't leave it to be randomly generated with the quotes above:
"Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money and control credit, and with a flick of a pen they will create enough to buy it back."
- Sir Josiah Stamp, former President, Bank of England
