Click to donate sites are web sites where users can click a button to generate a donation for a charity or cause. The money for the donation comes from advertisers whose banners are displayed each time a user clicks the button. While not directly contributing (though many sites offer additional ways of support), visitors are making a difference in the sense that, had they not visited, no donation would have been given. In most cases, the donation generated by each user only amounts to a few cents, but the goal is to ...

Ancient legends, historical records and contemporary reports tell of extraordinary, even miraculous happenings at these places. It is a curious fact, however, that these sacred sites, so significant to human culture are so little known beyond their own religious traditions. Of enormous importance, they have received only limited attention from social anthropologists, cultural geographers and religious historians. Why this remarkable omission of awareness and understanding?

The alleged Palace of David site is a large 10th to 9th century BC public building in eastern Jerusalem whose discovery was announced on August 4, 2005 by Israeli archaeologist Eilat Mazar, who identifies it as the palace of the Biblical King David.

List of shock sites - Goatse.cx. Main article: Goatse.cx Goatse.cx is one of the most well-known shock sites, and perhaps the most infamous.

While that specific site was taken down by the NIC .cx authority in January 2004, Goat.cx and Hick.org/goat/ became used instead of the original location. Goat.cx now only displays an image of a pumpkin carved to resemble h ...
