A cool list of reference sites

Teaching Tips.com has a 100 Unbelievably Useful Reference Sites You’ve Never Heard Of. Here are a few I checked out:

RhymeZone - Have you ever worked on a poem about programming, but couldn't find the right word to rhyme with Java? This web site will provide you lots of options. A word to the wise, it seems to only be able to rhyme words it knows about. It couldn't handle homeschool.

Twain quotations - Who know that Mark Twain had so many quotable lines?

The Dialectizer - Translates into other dialects like Redneck, Jive, Cockney, Elmer Fudd, Swedish Chef, and so on. I'm sure you always wanted to read Why Homeschool in Redneck.

There are a lot of other interesting sites to check out.
