OK, this item barely qualifies as fun, but first up today is a little historical note, perhaps not well know on this side of the country. Crossed my screen in an article about something else entirely unrelated, but I was interested enough to read more and it's fascinating. Consider this - a fire burning, underground in a coal mine, beneath a town, since 1962, and expected to burn for the next 250 years, and the non-existence of the town as a result. The Wikipedia article covers it pretty well, but winner of "most appropriate website name telling the story" is awarded to DamnInteresting.com's page about it.
Now on to the fun. You may find this little site somewhere between mildly amusing and totally hilarious, but at least it's clever. What life would be like with Sarah Palin as president.
And last, in a little nod to "Found", I present this little scrap of paper found at the library this morning. No idea where it came from. Can't be bothered to scan, so I transcribe:
"I have a room at the Sands (Empress or back tower) #[omitted] if you got no place you can come by and check it out - bout 11 - see whats up?"
What is up, indeed.
So how did that turn out when you went over, Marc?
