I'm going to assume that at some time or other you have run across a website called wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org/) You can hardly put any topic in a search engine without hitting at least one wikipedia article. In case you haven't seen it, the wikipedia website describes itself as "an encyclopedia collaboratively written by many of its readers. It uses a special type of website, called a wiki, that makes collaboration easy. Lots of people are constantly improving Wikipedia, making thousands of changes an hour, all of which are recorded on article histories and recent changes. Inappropriate changes are usually removed quickly, and repeat offenders can be blocked from editing."

I recently found another wiki called wikiHow. As recorded on their home page (http://www.wikihow.com/Main-Page) "wikiHow is a collaborative writing project to build the world's largest how-to manual. With your contributions, we can create a free resource that helps people by offering clear, concise solutions to the problems of everyday life. wikiHow currently contains 15,245 articles written, edited, and maintained primarily by volunteers."

Here are some of the featured articles on there today:
Create a Flashlight
Build a Panoramic Tripod Head

Make a Cereal Box and Juice Carton Placemat
Care for a Donkey
Get Rid of Junk Mail
Make Feta Cheese

There something there for just about everybody. If you go to the category, Finance and Business/Legal Matters, you can learn how to "Help a friend who gets arrested in the middle of the night" or (if you don't have a friend) "Arrange for Bail While in Jail". Now that's good stuff.
