Since I read so much and know so much of random trivia and a bunch of nonsense which very few people actually care about, I decided that I will share this knowledge with others. I will post links to what I think are the most interesting links which I have come across recently.

1. Waterfall: Animation
Fundaes: M.C.Escher was a very talented artist whose works involved quite a few math fundaes. Something to do with perspectives etc. His official website is here . The waterfall link is an animated video which shows this painting from different angles. Look at it and you will not be disappointed.

2. Planarity: Planarity Game
Fundaes: A planar graph is a graph with no crossing edges. Though at first sight a graph may seem not planar, it might be possible to draw it as a planar graph. Try playing the game. Its so much fun.

3. Comics: XKCD
Fundaes: A brillinat find by Rahul. Simple cartoons but brillinatly funny. You need to be a geek to understand a few of them.

4. Misinformation: Uncyclopedia
Fundaes: My favorite site without doubt. A comprehensive source of misinformation. Some articles might not be to your liking. Also, most of the humor is based on satire for which actual knowledge is necessary to understand.
