The Leeds Armoury website has a few fun things available for download in pdf format, including a cut out doll with a full suit of armor to color and put on Henry VIII. Look for the link to Henry VIII and the Tonlet armor.

They also have an entertaining, militarily-oriented list of dates in history, at least one for each day of the year . Today, for example, is the anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans (1815) and Eli Whitney's death (1825) - he's known as the inventor of interchangable parts, used to make gun manufacture more expedient.
