Not sure if any of you have heard about this site, but its pretty cool, you can learn a lot of things. Anyhow, I just thought up a game that has to do about this site, it's pretty easy, I'll start by posting an article. Like this:

http://science.howstuffworks.com/question514.htm

then you read it, and then, if you want, state what you thought about the article, afterwards you put in where to go next. By that I mean, at the very end of the article it'll say something like:

"Here are some interesting links:

What causes smell?
How Sweat Works
What causes the smell after rain?
How long can a germ live in a room?
The Smelly Foot Fest
Foot Odor: How to Clear the Air
Gran's Remedy for Smelly Feet and Footwear"

so yeah, just state where to go next in this case, if you wanted you could say "What causes smell"

So it'll look like this:

Me-http://science.howstuffworks.com/question514.htm
You-woah, never knew that. Next Article: What causes the smell after rain?[http://science.howstuffworks.com/question479.htm]
Me-Woah, never knew that. Next Article: What causes smells?(related link inside the article)

Some links though may lead you outside of howstuffworks. Don't post those, remain within the sites, otherwise this wouldn't be the howstuffworks game. Also some articles can be a couple of pages long like this:

http://science.howstuffworks.com/evolution.htm

in that case, the links will be placed at the end, you can find it in the Table of Contents at the top as "Lots more information". Remember, stay within howstuffworks. Now to start of:

Article:
http://science.howstuffworks.com/question514.htm

I know I've read that article before, interesting too. I always wondered why that was. Odd how bacteria causes that smell.

Next Article:What Causes Smell? (http://science.howstuffworks.com/question139.htm)

(I've noticed that the first 2 links in that article are outside HowStuffWorks, and the other 2 we've already done[What causes the smell after rain, and Why do feet stink?] so the next person's going to have to go with the article "How Many Senses Does a Human Being Have?")
