A personal web site I am always impressed with is Mark Rosenfelder’s Metaverse which is located at http://www.zompist.com/. Rosenfelder is one of those people who puts stuff on his site that make me go, “Cool, I wish I’d thought of that.”
A linguist by training, Rosenfelder has an amusing look at foreign language phrasebooks for American tourists, They Thought You’d Say This. According to Rosenfedler, for example, the Berlitz Russian for Travellers actually includes this phrase, which I’m certain most Americans would find extremely helpful: I want a specimen of your urine.
