Good ones from Cool Quiz’s random fact generator: If you were to rub garlic on the heel of your foot, it would be absorbed by the pores and eventually show up on your breath. Minus 40 degrees Celsius is exactly minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the only temperature for which the readings on both [...]

We watched this movie yesterday afternoon, after my dreaded bloodwork. It was fantastic! This Canadian film was shot in Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal, and starred two actors that you will recognize from Corner Gas (a favourite Canadian sitcom of ours).

Hymie invited me to join Friendster last night. I’ve been resisting for a whole year. My eldest cousin (Cheryl) had emailed me a while [...]
