Forvo

With the tagline "All the words in the world. Pronounced", this ambitious beta site features almost 110,000 pronunciations in 194 languages, from language superpowers like French, Italian, and Chinese, to tongues best described as exquisitely obscure -- so when you wake up dazed to strange mutterings in Iloko, Asturien, and Oriya, you'll be able to perfectly enunciate "Um, what country is this?"

SimplyNeckties

Subvert the mandate to look "presentable" during the holidays with this ill line of monochromatic silver ties, featuring the stenciled faces of various celebrities; horrify your conservative dad with an Obama or Bowie, or don the Pete Wentz to horrify Bowie.
