Better camo than you'd see at Monster Truck shows:

As a bird flies overhead, two insects freeze, hoping not to be noticed. If one of the insects is just the slightest bit more difficult to see, the other will be more likely to be eaten. This rule of nature is best summed up: "I don't have to outrun the bear, I just have to outrun you." So in the constant struggle to hide better than the competition, the result is near invisibility.

Galaxy Zoo

Did you ever want to be an astrophysicist, working with the top names of astronomy in solving the most pressing questions of how and why our universe behaves the way it does, but think, "Gee golly, that's a lot of school"?

Well fret no more, you pseudo-nerds! With Galaxy Zoo you, too, can spend hours of your precious life going cross-eyed staring at blurry snapshots on your computer hoping to get better results than some crappy $78 billion computer.

Seriously, though. This is real science that you can take part in. You can classify galaxies and run galaxy collision models on your computer. You will be doing real science, with real results. You're just a few clicks away from helping the next generation understand, and benefit from, the universe more than ever before.
