SLURL is short for "Second Life URL," a Web address. SLURL's are direct links from the Web to locations inside Second Life. When you have your Second Life viewer open and you are logged into your account, clicking one of these SLURLs will take you directly to the listed location.     Steven Taylor, director of academic computing at Vassar College, recreated the interior of the Sistine Chapel in Second Life to help students learn about art and architecture. On Vassar's island in the virtual world, visitors walk inside the building to study frescoes that decorate the 15th-century chapel in Vatican City. They can fly to the ceiling to view up close the nine stories from the Book of Genesis painted by Michelangelo. Taylor's avatar is known as Bret Rydell.
