In what was slated to be the site of a new 122-room hotel, archaeologists say they have discovered one of the world's oldest synagogues in Northern Israel.
The site, which was unearthed as preparations were being made for construction of the hotel near the Sea of Galilee, is believed to date back some 2000 years from 50BCE to 100CE.
In the middle of the 120 square meter main hall of the synagogue archaeologists discovered an unusual stone carved with a seven branched menorah .

Done and done is one of my favorite — and overused — lines. So when I came across Now Do This, a to-do list application website, I couldn't help but give it a whirl. So maybe you can't see your entire to-do list like with Remember the Milk or sticky notes on your iGoogle page, but it is plain and simple.

The online TV and movie streaming site Hulu has just launched some highly configurable widgets that can easily be embedded on your iGoogle page or on social networking sites like Facebook. New Hulu widgets include the player widget, Summer widget, show and movie widget, and picks widget, so you can select the best one to suit your needs.
With the widgets, you'll constantly get updates on the most popular or recently added videos, and you can even watch all your favorite vids from the widget, making it that much easier to watch TV while at work — shh, did I just say that?!

Now that you know about Blackle, the energy-saving custom Google search, let me tell you about Find It Girlfriend — the pink Google (no this is not a V-Day joke)! Discovered by TeamSugar user Sarah Miller, Find It Girlfriend is a fun and flirty search site that puts the regular Google to shame (that is, unless you are using iGoogle).
Find It Girlfriend also makes it easy for you to help fight breast cancer by clicking on the "Help Fight Breast Cancer" link on any page.

If you can't find the time to get to your local art museums, now you can conveniently bring the art to you and your desktop with a cool website called Artist a Day. So maybe it's not the same as the transcending experience you'd get cruising around the Met, but it does showcase a new artist each day and brings attention to various artists whose work may have gone unnoticed otherwise.
When you like artists' works, you can leave comments or continue on to their personal websites to see more of their creations.

I love robot voices! They always sound weird and robotic and hilarious all at the same time. VozMe is a website that lets you create mp3s from text and already has me in geeky giggle fits.

If you don't use iGoogle, but want to personalize your homepage check out Poodwaddle, which allows you to create your own home page with a search engine, dictionary, thesaurus, encyclopedia, maps, calculator and games. The personalized pages look like widgets, so if you're not keen on using widgets you still can get easy access to web tools in one place.
My favorite element in the Poodwaddle universe is its World Clock, which is a running tab of census type statistics around the world.
