I got this idea after reading a couple of my favourite blogs. It’s really just a list of a handful of websites that I’ve visited on my travel through the internets that I thought you might like. So, without further ado, I present to you…
Things I Found While Eff’ing Around

In 2010 alone, more than 3,400 button battery swallowing cases were reported in the U.S., resulting in 19 serious injuries and in some cases, deaths. Get the facts here.
The science of storytelling.
I had to use the Wayback Machine for this one but it’s totally worth it. It’s all fun and games until CPS shows up.
Test your intelligence.
Mind. Blown.
Amazing and stunning works of art that aren’t photographs.
I’ve always been fascinated by linguistics. In fact, a game I like playing (it makes an especially fun ice-breaker!) starts with compiling a list of 20-30 words that have different pronunciations (depending on what part of the country you’re from). The list is then provided and everyone takes turns saying each word out loud. OK, so when I type it all out like this, it sounds really nerdy and lame. Oh, well. Here’s a list of words to get you started:
- Bowie knife
- Lawyer
- Crayon
- Status
- Route
- Mayonnaise
- Pajamas
- Pecan
- Syrup
- Either
- Caribbean
