News -- Small businesses thrive in Kabul: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A2374-2003Feb25.html



Comment - The article makes a good point about how people, when they feel optimistic about the economy, put their money where their mouth is.



News - Here's a Web site with plenty of palindromes: http://www.palindromelist.com/



Comment - Palindromes are words and phrases that reads the same backward and forwards. "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama" and "Madam, I'm Adam" are two examples of palindromes. Read the phrases backwards, and they say the same thing.



News - A strange little game of reflections: http://snurl.com/lasergame



Comment -- Hint: The lasers don't fire. Think reflections. To get started, instead of reading Help, drag the concave icon from the left portion of the game and drop it five saucer lengths above the laser, so the light bulb is to the immediate right. Now with your mouse (the thing you slide on your desk, remember?), click the button with the arrow pointing left (in the lower right part of the game) three times.
