The Why and Wherefore Behind Common Ecconomic Terms

A very cool website--who knew that Karl Marx invented the word, "Communism"?

I've recently been working on a paper about Socialism, and ran across this nifty quote: "Democracy," said Marx, "is the road to socialism."

Left Brain vs. Right Brain

Here's a really interesting website that I--or rather my lovably scatterbrained aunt--found. In recent years, the difference between the two hemispheres of the brain have been emphasized, and so I was curious to see which hemisphere I'm dominated by...it turns out that I'm about 2/3 left brained. Rather curious because I can't do math or spell to save my life--traditional left-brained territory--but I'm not much of an artist either...go figure! Anyhow, give it a try! You might be surprised by your results...
