Real
Molecules with Silly Names: - this
one includes Chime images of the molecules in question, HOWEVER I would not make
this available to students ESPECIALLY at the high school level but be selective
of those compounds you wish to share as some names, photos and
associations are inappropriate for children. http://www.bris.ac.uk/Depts/Chemistry/MOTM/silly/sillymols.htm

Musical Chemistry -
this one has both a British and Organic chem bent, but the songs are
funny. (Sing it with me - EDTA!!) Bio teachers will probably like
"Form a Phosphate-Ester Link (to Carbon Three)" sung to the tune of
"Tie a Yellow Ribbon." Hilarious and scientifically accurate to
boot.

The Annals of Improbable Research -
most people probably already know about this one. Newly added are the 2002
IgNobel prize winners.
