* Map this: Interactive maps--on topics from politics to agricultural threats to topography--can be found at National Geographic’s new map site: https://plasma.nationalgeographic.com/mapmachine/plates.html. It also finds places--but not like a Chinese restaurant in Des Moines, more like Des Moines.

* Word play: Fool your friends by saying things no one understands. I mean, on purpose. Spizzerinctum (https://www.mcs.net/kvj/spizz.html) teaches obscure words with current events quizzes.

* Weird food site of the week: The mystery and horror of blue raspberry Jell-O is finally revealed at https://www.startext.net/homes/chris1/bluej.htm. Take the quiz, and you’ll be sorry.

* Never mind, I’ll take the Jell-O: There’s only one thing on the menu at Brains for Zombies (https://www.brains4zombies.com/), and it isn’t dessert.

* Snap, crackle, pop: Just in time for the busy holiday shipping season, it’s the World’s Best Bubblewrap Homepage (https://www.fathom.org/opalcat/bubblewrap.html). Remember, it is impolite to pop someone else’s bubblewrap without permission.

* Why personal home pages are a bad idea: Sometimes something is so bad, it’s funny. At Waste of Bandwidth.org (https://www.wasteofbandwidth.org/index2.cfm), it’s mostly just sad.

* Obligatory nod to T-Day: I understand the pilgrims made a mean blue cheese, port and walnut spread and their Native American dinner companions brought the broccoli with lemon almond butter. Thanksgiving recipes great and small at https://www.thanksgivingrecipe.com.

* Truth, ethics and the American way: OK, Clark Kent was Superman, but could he write? Newsday’s Chip Tracer, superhero and girl reporter, teaches how to search for the truth at the Newseum: https://www.newseum.org/chiptracer.

* I think I’m nauseated: It’s not the Cowsills’ cover of “Hair,” but for all things Partridge Family, try https://www.geocities.com/hollywood/5255/.
