Remember the day you wore tie-dye? Put that first hula girl on your dashboard? For those who want to relieve these memories and more, CrazyFads.com has chronicled many of the best crazes from the '20s to the '90s. Who could forget mood rings from the '60s or the birth of that favorite '80s trend of "baby on board" signs? Each fad is listed by decade, with a short description and a link to more detailed information or a Web site which pays homage.
Ever wonder what to do with a book after you finish reading it? BookCrossing.com has the answer for you: set it free! This ingenious project is designed to get people to share books with others and at the same time track a novel as it travels around the world. The process is simple - a visit to the site to register the title you are putting into the wilds, a labeling process on the inside of the book to give it a unique code and your choice of a place to drop it at for others to read. When someone else finds it, they are supposed to visit BookCrossing and register their experiences under the book's code. They then set it free and the adventure continues.
