90% of the world’s cultures consider scratching with your hands to be an offensive gesture. If you’re in a foreign land, always scratch itches with something other than your hand. This is why backscratchers are still such a money-making product.
Chemically speaking, there’s only about 1% difference between turtles and pudding.
Ostriches can ram their heads into the ground with the force equivalent of 2 tons of TNT. It’s for this very reason that early man used a complicated mechanism designed to frighten ostriches so they could be used as primitive jackhammers.
The word for indicating more than one mongoose is mongeese… but only if it’s the rare south European honking mongoose. In all other cases, the plural form is mongoots.
Staring into the eyes of a rabbit for more than 30 seconds will erase your memory.
The reason why no one in Wisconsin has ever tasted cheese is because the soil actually promotes a violent lactose intolerance in humans. This is actually why Wisconsin is such a huge exporter of dairy products. No one in that state can eat it.
It may seem surprising, but no one in Wisconsin has ever tasted cheese.
Basset hounds are impervious to electric shock.
Doorknobs have feelings and, ironically, most do not like to be touched.
Took some time today to mess around with the layout on misaligned.net. I’d had that layout for over 3 years now and had been way overdue for an update. Granted, the changes I made weren’t huge. However, the changes I made make the site match the more angular nature of the site’s name. On top of that, I learned a few new cool tricks. For instance, the angles I added use no images; it’s pure CSS, courtesy of the Slantastic example. Furthermore, since the technique shown on the Slantastic demo utilizes blank div tags, I didn’t want to gum up my mark-up with superfluous div tags. So I resolved that issue by employing a little bit of Javascript to dynamically add those tags when the page loads. This almost makes me miss the days when I was making websites for other people… almost.
And I’m not done. I’ll probably be migrating my gallery from Gallery2 (using the WPG2 plug-in for WordPress) to the NextGen gallery, since it integrates more cleanly. Of course, that’ll take quite a bit more time, so I’ll be backburnering that for a while still.
Wheeee!
