    I remember coming across that page a few years back.

    Mind boggling, then and now, and good to know it's still up.

    edit/ I found this around the same time.

    Good linkage. Saw the first site a long time ago, nice to see it again though.

    Though,If you could figure out why my money wasn't transferred into my account like it was meant to today so I could go out tonight, that would really cheer me up :)

    To take your mind off how insignificant you are take a journey to the tenth dimension
    Guaranteed to make your head hurt in a good way...

    I think this is one of the best sites on the subjects mentioned on this thread.
    Three hours of video broken into three parts, each part has eight segments. It has good graphics and special effects to go along with the mind bending theories.
