My One-hundred-and-eighty-eighth Post

Okay, sometimes I wonder about some of the pictures I have saved on my computer. For example:



Did I go through some phase where I was obsessed with old-timey children's television programs? And I just... don't remember? Was it a project I was working on? I couldn't have been that important if I have no memory of it. OR. Or this could be some cryptic message I left for myself before having my memory erased to protect those I love from the horrors that the encoded information might bring forth? But why did I leave some clue to it behind? Maybe... maybe it is important. WHY DID I SAVE THESE? This is going to drive me insane.

My One-hundred-and-eighty-seventh Post

A few random tidbits of info I've been collecting:

  • Did you know that in yeast breads, the role of sugar is to promote yeast growth, while salt's role is to control it.
  • A better synonym of "condone" is "overlook" rather than "support," as many think.
  • Botanically speaking, the banana is a herb. Also, try to work the phrase "botanically speaking" into your next conversation. Fun times.
  • There are four types of marriages: monogamy, polygyny/polygymy, polyandry, and group marriage. (Monogamy is one wife, one husband. Polygyny is one husband, several wives. Polyandry is one wife, several husbands. Group marriage is self explanatory, I think)

My One-hundred-and-eighty-sixth Post

Just a note. If you visit my actual blog, you will notice I have added a "shared items" thing to the sidebar. I sort through a ton of blog posts everyday and share with you the cream of the crop--pretty much things that make me giggle and occasionally things that make me think. If you are Google-friends with me (awesome!), you are probably already bombarded by my shared posts in your Google Reader (seriously feel free to block me if they annoy you). But if you're not and you want to be, you can view (and subscribe to) my shared items here. Which I thought was pretty neat.


(PS! LOOK WHAT I DID WITH THE GRAPHIC! I AM SO FUNNY!)
