There's a reason no one ever reads the instruction manual. Ho. Hum. That's
why the video how-to site Howcast is such
a gem. It breaks from its more staid counterparts, such as Expert Village and eHow, by injecting a necessary dose of humor. Come
here to learn "how to make a move on a girl while watching a movie on a
couch" and "how to become a saint." Each video is rated often by
thousands of members so you won't waste bandwidth on the boring ones. We
also like WonderHowTo, which neatly
indexes and ranks how-to videos from hundreds of other sites.
