One morning my nephew came to me and asked me Linky Unku(I don’t look like an uncle yet ..but my sister insists him to call me that !!! ) will a person be able to land safely if theres a big holle in the parachute ? He was playing with a spiderman toy and was wondering what would spiderman do when he is out of web ..funny thought..
Ohmy ..how did he suppose I can answer that..I have hardly seen a full sized Parachute rest aside using one ..and I am not a dare-devil either to try that out ..
However to put his mind at easy and mine too ..I decided to contact the Oracle just like Neo in Matrix..
I knew the answer must be somewhere on the net but where ... I logged in.
Google would just drop me in a vast ocean and I would drift to where the waves would take me ...I am poor at surfing..and I swim only with a float.
when finally I visited https://howstuffworks.com
Thats the site I am about to review..
Its a very good and professionally built site..thanx to Marshall Brain
No sooner that you enter the site ..you will get a popup ..don’t close it in haste ..
(I did that once assuming it to be some adverisment claiming ’’U have been selected blah blah blah’’)..
but this popup will explain to you what the sites all about.
so what am I doing here...lolz...
Anyway go with the walk through and this popup will introduce you to HowStuffWorks web site and teach you how to find what you’re looking for quickly and easily.
Basically the site is split into nine separate sites - or channels..I don’t want to elaborate on them ..you can find that out.its well, but not too much documented.
Channels are further sub divided in subchannels..good they divided ..
and on each channel everyweek, there is a different featured article..with good images tooo..I like pictures..
Know what for those of the Koi-Mil-gaya or the ET types ...theres a sub channel on Aliens in the Science channel
but it says How Alines Might Work ..he he...
U can really learn from something well as defined as
- How car engine works..good animation to explain that.
to something not so well defined as
- How Pawnshops work....(Cousin2 hs already attempted to explain part of it in her review on Rolex watches titled ’’IWishICouldAffordIt!’’)
to something Homely as
- How Icemakers work
to official-work on
- How does a ball-point pen work..
to drinkers delight
- How does beer work.

Stop it pls ..I know how these things work ..cause I know HowStuffworks.
My advice is if u r there to find something you want to know...Stick to your topic before you venture out into new findings..its like the Pyramid of Giza ..u go in and u don’t know where or how or why u came in .. :)
Also the search functionality is not that good ..atleast I did not find it that way ..and look out before u click cause there are other search engines actively displaying their text-boxes there, eagerly waiting for you to type something and click and take u out into the ocean once again ..
Theres otherstuff like streaming vidoeshots, guide to hundreds of cool gadgets and collection of interesting web Links
If you still not done ..u can enrol for their daily/weekly newsletter.
They also have their own HSW Player which playes streeming vidoes real fast..
Very rightly said just about anything you could fit in the phrase ’’how _____ works’’ is fair game.
Example ’’How Nostradamus Works’’ ...great example but it does work.
Don’t trust me ..give it a shot.
Don’t ask me if I can answer my nephew now ...
Thankx for reading my review ..Pls comment and rate it :)
Peace be with you
