| Note, Special Credit: I have blatantly stolen (the sincerest form of flattery) this entire page from the Mensa Alaska web site (winner of the 1998 "Best Web Site" award). This list of smart links was so comprehensive that I could see no way to improve on it, so here it is, almost verbatim, as it were. Thanks, Kerry, for doing such a good job on this and saving me some work! ; >
