howstuffworks..

i invariably don't know how things work.
this is a well-known fact about me.
over the years, russell has given me periodic science lessons on many things...boats, cds, trains, radios, and the like....
however, howstuffworks.com is a brilliant website, that keeps me informed and educated while russell is away...
if i have questions they know the answer.
i also now have a feed from this site that lands daily on my igoogle page telling me a fun set of new facts to know and tell, on a particular theme....sometimes fireworks, sometime egg timers, you know..

and today, the howstuffworks offering is this.....

how stuff works: the rules of war...
