A website with the coolest wallpaper, but here is a flash animation that I thought was enjoyable:

That was a very cool flash animation. One of the best I've seen lately.

Gotta love those Jamaicans and Canadian Ponies.

Cool skit... I have NO idea what the Belgium thing is supposed to be though!

[o)] you don't know?? It is an atomic structure, the thing is called the atomium :) and is located in Brussels

the website: http://www.atomium.be

[Monique]

The Atomium is a symbol of the atom concept, because it represents a crystal mollecule of metal, actually of the centered cubic system.
In this crystal system, the atoms are placed on the vertexes of a cube, and one atom occupies its center.
The elementary centered cubic system is composed of 9 atoms. In crystal chemistry, the structure of crystals is commonly represented by spheres the centers of which materialise the mean position of the atom in the crystal network ; the binding forces which exist between the atoms are materialised by links interconnecting the spheres. These binding forces are the essential cause of the chemical properties and the mechanical resistance of the different elements, and particularly metals ; if is thus perfectly logical to clearly mark their existence in any representation of crystals.

The structure is huge, see the following drawing: http://www.atomium.be/HTMLsite/EN/Atomium/media/ATPRO012.jpg

Oh, I see. [:)] Thanks for the explanation.

At first this building looked octahedral, now that I turn my head, it looks like a cube on its edge.

I'm thoroughly fascinated with this site after browsing it multiple times. Thanks for it being mentioned. [:)]

That was quality, especially the Welsh and the Calfornian clips.
