Self-explanatory - it's a website that's been advertised on Canadian (and maybe American) TV. I looked into it and it has some really nice articles explaining how some things work. The nagivation is sometimes a bit clunky, and you have to remember to click NEXT PAGE - for some reason they can fit a whole article on a page -_-. The NEXT PAGE is inconveniently placed, but once you get used to it you'll be able to browse and learn for hours.

Some articles i've read:

How SWEARING works.
http://people.howstuffworks.com/swearing.htm

How DEATH BY HANGING works.
http://people.howstuffworks.com/death-by-hanging.htm

How COMPUTER ADDICTION works.
http://computer.howstuffworks.com/compu ... ction3.htm
