Geeky Web Link

Being the science geek that I am, I enjoy reading about science from a historical aspect. I stumbled upon a Web site today that combines the archives of Modern Mechanics, Popular Mechanics, Popular Science, and Scientific American.

Some of the articles are quite intriguing, such as the one from 1938 describing the home experiments you can do with hydrofluoric acid. Yes, that's the same acid that eats through glass.
So much for the modern disclaimer: "kids, don't try this at home..."
