wwh and I discussed a while back our favorite links. He admitted to having a cache of favorite links he stores somewhere. I thought it might be good to have a thread where we could list our favorite word and language links with a brief description of what's on the link.
Here are some of mine:

http://www.artlex.com/Great index of art terms and definitions
http://www.chronique.com/Library/Glossaries/glossary-KCT/glssindx.htmGlossary of terms about chivalry and knighthood ("Those were the days, my friend; we thought they'd never end..." )
http://www.graylab.ac.uk/cgi-bin/omd?action=Home&query=Lexicon of medical and some other scientific terms
The links above will come up quickly. I had some others that I decided not to include because the opening page takes too long to download.
Thanks for adding to this list if you care to.
