Why not… it’s not like you’ve got anything better to do today.

  1. Antarctica has a top level domain (.aq). Without the threat of polar bears, I guess that penguins want to blog, too…
  2. American wasabi is just horesradish+green. Wasabi heat affects the nasal passages, not the taste buds like peppers.
  3. Although the chupacabra apparently inhabits a range from Maine to Mexico, nobody still has been able to catch one. C’mon people, try harder!
  4. A nocebo reponse is an undesirable affect that occurs as a result of the administration of a placebo drug. It’s all in your head!
  5. Wilco has won two Grammys (both for A Ghost is Born). Wilco is one of the better bands out there, and is captivating my attention right now.
  6. Grover Cleveland is getting two $1 coins for his non-consecutive terms. Still haven’t seen any of these coins in circulation.
  7. The aircraft carrier HMS Vengeance was put up for auction on eBay (but not sold). I’d bid on it, but I don’t have a boat trailer big enough to cart it around.
  8. Monaco has the greatest population density of any country in the world. It equals about 67 people/acre, about 4 times the density of Hong Kong!
  9. It would take a 510 ton cobalt bomb to destroy all life on earth. Hmmm…. wonder if that includes cockroaches?
  10. An IMAX movie frame is about 10000×7000 pixels. Makes my 1600×1200 resolution look like chump change!
