Spooky. Spooky good, that is!
There’s a lot of commentary today online, in other media and at memorials around the world. So instead of adding to the noise, I thought I’d do a quick round-up of some of the most interesting things I’ve seen… (Oh, okay – I’ll quickly do my own “Where were you when?” story since I […]
CNN conducted an unscientific worldwide poll and after getting 35 000 responses, created a list of the 50 best tasting foods in the world. Canada hits the list at 46 with maple syrup but that’s our only contribution. Surprisingly (?) the two top ranked dishes are both Indonesian (did Indonesians scam the poll?), neither of […]
A Redditor asks if a modern battalion of a couple thousand Marines could beat the hundreds of thousands of men in the Roman Legion to take over the entire Roman Empire? That leads to one Redditor writing it up the idea as a very engaging novella, a dedicated sub-Reddit for further discussion of the idea and even […]

But it got me wondering if there was a song in the BNL catalogue which would’ve also worked? Thematically (at least in […]
Pace has become quite the little music fan recently, often breaking into “songs” of his own creation or snippets of songs he’s heard on the radio or at daycare or wherever.

Nobody’s using it anymore.” ONE WEEK after it went live!) Anyhow, I’m still checking it regularly – beyond the […]
I always think these reality show stars – Susan Boyle, Paul Potts, etc. – who are dumpy looking and/or have a sob story are probably exaggerated (along with the editing and dramatic music introducing them) for maximum effect. But if there’s even a grain of truth to stories like this one, it’s still pretty amazing…
I occasionally do Sappy Sunday posts so perhaps I need to do a recurring humour-themed post to balance things out? Too Funny Tuesdays? Tickle Tuesdays?
If you don’t yet have enough social network news feeds in your life and/or if you think a picture’s worth a thousand words, you might be interested in MlkShk, a site that is like many other social networks except that it focuses on the sharing of pictures and graphics instead of words and links.
