Friday Fun Link – Yes Please!

Today on Facebook, a friend asked if I’d seen this particular flavour of Hammond’s chocolate bars. I’d seen the regular kind (and had bought my mom and dad one as a gift when Sasha was born) but if I’d seen this kind, I don’t know if I’d ever eat another kind of chocolate bar again!

On top of the recent news that by being excellent stewards of their country’s oil wealth, each Norway citizen was now a “millionaire”* (as opposed to some oil-rich jurisdictions that weren’t quite so successful in this regard), comes this story about the National Library of Norway finding a way to make copyrighted works available to […]

Friday Fun Link – If You’re Gonna Get Detention, These Are The Ways To Do It.

  I love these (and am particularly sympathetic to the kid who corrected the teacher about a mile being longer than a kilometre and got in trouble for it!) although, as always with the things you read on the Internet, skepticism is important too.
