This Web site is chock full of personality tests. Find out if you're crazy, too stressed out, or just plain normal. Surfers also can find out if they qualify as an actual "Type A"

This the Internet home of the Dr. Seuss Purity Test. Anyone who's surfered the Web for very long has encountered purity tests. The tests tell the takers how innocent or experienced they are, depending on answers to highly personal and possibly offensive questions. Proceed at your own risk, and prepare to laugh your head (or assorted body parts) off.

Musicians perform downtown concerts for spare change
Story by Ezra.Sykes
wo summers ago, John Erlinger stepped out onto the streets of St Louis with a guitar, two friends and a few songs he had memorized. Hoping that they could earn a little dough, the young group set out an empty guitar case on the filthy downtown street and began to pick and strum an old bluegrass tune. Despite the romantic picture of young artists trying to make an honest live
Despite the romantic picture of young artists just trying to make an honest liv
ing on the streets, reality painted a mean brushstroke.
Erlinger recalled his premier street performance. "It basically involved drunk people begging for the little change that we earned."
As flowers bloom in the spring, like wise does Lawrence. Some people creep out onto the streets to enjoy the warm weather and interaction with other folks. Some shop. Some panhandle. And some come to entertain.
Street musicians such as Erlinger have been popping up on Massachusetts Street more often in recent week,s and the trend probably will continue until summertime. By bringing their unique form of entertainment, using the sidewalk as their stage and store windows as their backdrop, street musicians can be considered entertaining or annoying, pests or heroes.
