Exploratorium Online Exhibits
"The fabulous hands-on science museum from San Francisco presents a gallery of thirteen illusions (many powered by Shockwave and QuickTime) to play with and learn from. You’ll find the Café Wall Illusion on other sites as well, but here you get to interact with it and watch the distortion come and go. ""The Café Wall Illusion was first described by Dr. Richard Gregory. Dr. Gregory is a good friend of the Exploratorium and director of The Exploratory Hands On Science Museum in Bristol, England. Dr. Gregory observed this curious effect in a pattern of tiles on a café wall in Bristol and has kindly granted us permission to display his picture of this café.""<!--"

Exploratorium Soap Bubbles
"What is so fascinating about bubbles? The precise spherical shape, the incredibly fragile nature of the microscopically thin soap film, the beautiful colors that swirl and shimmer, or most likely, a combination of all these phenomena? For an exploration of the science of bubbles, this San Francisco Exploratorium site is the bee’s knees. And exactly what do beehives have in common with bubble foam? Go to ""Bubble Meets Bubble"" to find out."

Evolution of Mickey Mouse
"Mickey Mouse evolved from a failed cartoon character named Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, who starred in a series of cartoons in 1927 and 1928. After Oswald’s failure, Disney lost most of his artistic staff and his future in animation looked bleak. However, after some brainstorming with his wife, Disney created a new character: the famous Mickey Mouse. This quality site by a UCLA student (she calls herself simply Maria) is based on a term paper written in high school. It details Mickey’s physical evolution (note the many similarities between him and Oswald the Rabbit) and the development of his character."
