So..time to learn something new..give me some educational websites..I don't care what they're about, just something interesting. I did look at an Arabic language page and that's ok, but I think tapes are better.

Oh yeah, even though you have to take some of it with a grain of salt... there's always Wikipedia. I can get lost there for hours at a time, and if you're feeling gamey you can try accessing the main portal: http://www.wikipedia.org/ and try it in one of about 85 other languages.

How stuff works
Don't know if this is your thing, but an Anarchist's Cookbook type site
That's most of what I have for 'educational' stuff.

Follow the PDF links mentioned.
WARNING!!! This is the THE biggest rabbit hole you could possibly fall down. Once you really grok what's going on here, you will never forget it and you might be driven to keep digging.
