Stupid Is As Stupid Does...

We all used to do stupid things as kids. What level we stopped at depended on our risk factor and the people we were hanging out with. Did you ever try flattening a can of WD-40 with a sledgehammer? If you didn't, here's what will happen. If you did, well, I hope your eyebrows have grown back.

My Kingdom for a Night's Sleep

Sleep deprived. That's the best way to describe parenthood. Forget the adjectives rewarding, fulfilling or "so cute". Did you know parents of a newborn lose between 400 and 750 hours of sleep the first year? This and 39 other facts about sleep can be found here.

Back in Business!!

Wow! The last 2 weeks have been a whirlwind of activity. First, on December 15, our second daughter was born. Yipee! It was a much better experience than the first in every single aspect. She is doing great and even sleeping sometimes.

Next, 1 day after our daughter was born, I travelled to Saskatoon for a final interview with the company I will be working for. Yes, that's right, we are moving to Saskatoon. We have already bought a house there and are busy lining up moving dates, mortgages, lawyers, etc. It's been crazy, but that's our style: Go big or go home.

So that's the big news. Want more details? Drop me a line and I can fill you in on all the juicy tidbits.

And today's link: Think you live in poverty? Check out this site - you may be richer than you think. Something to be thankful for today.

The World's Dumbest Criminal

Let this be a lesson to you: If you're going to rob a liquor store, make sure you're sober.

I Call Shotgun!!

We've all done it. You're going out somewhere and you don't want to ride in the backseat, so you call shotgun to sit in the front. Problem is, someone else calls it as well. What do you do? Well, you could beat each other up until the last person standing gets the seat, or you could refer to the shotgun guide to see who gets it. I'd print out a copy and keep it in your wallet. You never know.

In Memory of Oreo

Now that's a load!

Go ahead, keep eating. Eat all you want. Get as fat as possible. Why? Because society is accomodating your girth. Wider seats in planes, wider seats in lecture theatres, and now wider toilets. The Great-John Toilet. Holds up to 2000 pounds. More cheesecake, anyone?

The Eternal Question

It is the defining question of our generation, one that has both puzzled and frustrated all of us at some time: Why does orange juice taste bad after brushing your teeth? At long last, we have an answer.

It's Friday, but don't tell anyone!

Well, my horoscope was wrong. It said I would be invincible with my decisions this week. BAH! After inviting some people to a fowl supper this week and then embarassingly not being able to get tickets to ordering 2 for 1 pasta and getting exactly what I ordered (imagine!), the week has not gone smooth. I'm considering writing my own horoscope section. Who does those things, anyway? And what kind of training do you need? I'm thinking none. Just slap some possible jibber-jabber down and your done. Hmmm... I wonder how well they get paid?

Pirates are all the rage this year because of the Pirates of the Caribean movie. Sure, the pirate life looks like fun and games - the open sea, swashbuckling, Davey Jones - but have you ever stopped and considered some of the hardships they face?

I know we have some '80s readers out there, people who grew up in the days of Atari and Intellivision. What a great Christmas gift idea - Space Invaders cufflinks. Unfortunately, this item already sold in an auction, but you could contact the seller and see if he could make some more for you.

If we've learned anything from Calvin and Hobbes, it's that babysitting can be a tough, thankless job. From changing diapers to running after kids to running to the hospital, it is a trying gig. Especially if a bear knocks on the door.

I like my sports. My wife will tell you that I can get quite focused on a football game and tune everything else out. It's nice to know I'm not alone.

How many of you are there? This site will tell you how many people share your name in the United States. Sadly not for Canada, but I can tell you that only 1 person in the entire USA has my combination of first and last name.

Need to waste some time? If you're a pro at spotting the differences in the pictures in the little challenge in the newspaper, you'll enjoy this site.

And finally, for the photographer in your life, show them this telephoto lens. I'm not sure how far you can see with this thing, but if you have one, I don't want to know what you're doing with it.

Have a great Friday, everyone!

It's Friday!! (again)

Yes, you may have noticed the post below says Friday as well, but my statistics show that no one looked at my blog during the week, so there! If you really miss the daily posts, let me know, but until then, this will truly turn into The Friday File.

Headline of the week: Death-row prisoner gets pregnant in solitary.

Halloween is coming fast, and if you're the type that goes crazy with decorating, you should check out the great haunted furniture at this site.

Viagra. The word itself makes men dance and women ride bicycles while singing. Put the musical theatre back in your marriage with these Viagra Spam Recipes.

I always enjoyed Bugs Bunny. The wise-cracks, the slapstick, the carrots. Mmm, carrots, We dug our carrots up last weekend, and they were delicious. Only one problem: they were all orange. But, carrots are orange, you say. Not rainbow carrots, I say.

We still have pumpkin pie left over from Thanksgiving, and it is still delicious. If you crave the taste of pumpkin pie, you should try pumpkin pie coffee. Personally, I don't drink coffee, plus the pumpkin head on the label scares me.

And to finish off, since we seem to be on a food kick, these guys sang their order at McDonalds. Great stuff, very creative.

Have a great Friday, everyone!

It's Friday!

Ahh, the Friday before the long weekend. The day where everyone leaves early to go home, or doesn't go to work at all. Anyone going camping this weekend? The weather is supposed to be nice, so go for it. Oh, it may be cool during the night, but you'll be asleep, so what do you care?

I found this while my wife and I were surfing YouTube last night. Great commercials. You'll laugh, guaranteed.

There is some great illusion art out there, and I'm sure you've seen some of it. This one is really cool - they've painted the floor of an elevator to look like it has no floor.

Because Christmas is just around the corner, it's time to start giving out gift ideas again. Today's hot seller: The DVD Rewinder. Please don't make me explain why this is funny.

Are you tired of trying to dry your hands with slow, barely warm hand air dryers in public washrooms? No problem, just get yourself the Dyson Airblade, and soon your hands will be dry in seconds thanks to 400 mph wind.

Here's an article I found very interesting. It seems a lot of criminals share a common middle name: Wayne. There's a whole list of them and the crimes they committed. I'm a little disturbed by this. Why? Guess what my middle name is.

And to finish off, I need to dedicate this billboard to my friend, Leanne. She'll understand why.

Have a great Friday, everyone!

Your Room or Mine?

I love clever marketing. This is a great ad for... well, I won't ruin the surprise, but you'll enjoy it.

Surrogate Mother

Growing up on the farm, we would have calves die during childbirth and give the motherless cow one of a set of twins. Always seemed to work well, but I've never heard of cross-species mothering.

It's Friday!

Another week has flown by, and we are another week closer to D-Day (delivery day). The sun is shining here today, the birds are singing, and it's a great day to be alive! Hopefully I'm annoying all those coffee drinkers out there who haven't had their coffee yet. Poor saps.

A few years ago this awesome little article appeared in our local newspaper about the animal activists apalled at the gopher derbys, and the part about trying to fence them in really made me laugh. Now the animal activists are at it again, freeing 15,000 halibut from a fish farm to swim to their death.

Russia has some infrastructure problems, as evidenced by these photos of their federal highway near the city of Lena. That's nasty.

Floppy disks are becoming extinct. I don't build computers with floppy drives anymore unless someone specifically asks for them. So what do you do with all those old floppies? You build a bag out of them.

Cooking. There are millions of recipes on the internet. We have a whole box of pears that we needed to use, so we looked for pear recipes online. What did we end up making? Pear pizza, and it was delicious. Of course, if you want something really unique, trying baking salmon. In the dishwasher.

Because music is prominent in our household, I get to listen to lots of it, and most of it is classical. I have heard a lot of pieces played on the piano, but never on bottles. Maybe this is where the money is...

Have a great Friday, everyone!

Are You Balanced?

Do you consider yourself a balanced person? Maybe you should consider a career of balancing rocks.

A Little Dust Up

Do you ever get dust on your car? Absolutely, unless you live in a vacuum. Do you clean your car? I hope so. Although, maybe you want to second-guess that whole clean-the-car thing.

It's That Time of the Month

There's so many jokes I could make about this, so I won't - the Tampon Shooter Blowgun.

Japan - Head of the Class

We all know that when it comes to technology, Japan is way ahead of North America, kind of like SaskTel is way ahead of Telus! (Yeah, that's right, Kevin and I are pointing and laughing at you right now!) Japan gets all the new technology first, and they seem to be more daring in their designs. Today, we present some of Japan's coolest technology.

It's Friday!

Another Friday, another rainy day. Oh well, at least it's payday. On with the show!

If you're working on your golf swing, who better to watch than Tiger Woods? They put some camera on him that shoots a gazillion frames a second, so you can watch in super slow motion, stop it, whatever you want. Pretty cool.

For our furniture section, this week we have selected a piece that is refined. Elegant, sophisticated, this footstool will have a place of honor in your formal living room for years to come.

My wife's father has told me stories about his first experiences with a computer - how it filled up a room, programming puch cards, etc. Well, dust off those old punch cards, Dad, because we've found a use for them!

Since the bacon wallet was such a hit, we have another wallet this week: the Tyvek wallet. You may be thinking, what the heck is tyvek? My good friends at the print shop will know this one, but I'll fill you in: Tyvek is a special type of paper that is moisture-resistant and tear-resistant, yet it can be as thin as paper and is easily printed on. Great for outdoor signs, and apparently also great for making wallets out of.

I know Kim has a bicycle stand at home that allows him to bike during the winter, but don't you wish you could put all that energy to use? Behold, the Bicycle Blender. Now you can mix up milkshakes while you bike. I know, kind of defeats the purpose of working out, but still, you gotta admit it's cool.

That stack of books goes in the shelf close to the wall. Yes, that shelf. No, I don't care which one, just put them somewhere. On second thought, maybe not at the t... No, not the top. NOOOOOO! Crap.

Have a great Friday, everyone!

Thar She Blows!

This one has been around the internet for quite a while, but still a good story. What happens when your tug boat is too big to go under the bridge? Why, you simply submerge it, go under the bridge, and pop back up on the other side, of course. What did you think?

Calvin & Hobbs

Something a little different this morning - some cartoons to start your day. With notes, no less.

Arrrr! There Be Pirates in my Tree!

Nothing says being a kid like a treehouse. Nothing says cool like a pirate treehouse. And nothing says rich spoiled brat like having your parents buy this for you.

The 5-Second Rule

I'm sure we all know about the 5-second rule: As long as the food has only been on the floor for 5 seconds, it's still safe to eat. Well, someone has done a scientific study about it. The results? You'll have to read it for yourself.

It's Friday!

Well, it's still raining here. Has been for a few days now, and doesn't look like it's stopping soon. Went to see Talladega Nights last night - wouldn't recommend seeing it. It was a big disappointment.

I know what you're going to think when you first see this, but trust me, wait until the end before you judge me. Brilliant marketing. Almost as good as Buffalo Road.

Face it, you need to pamper your laptop. Treat it well, and it will last a long time. That's why you need to put it in a sleeve. The Monster Laptop Sleeve. (Hey Kim, that looks like an iMac in the picture. Aren't you proud)

Kids are now back in school and university all over our fair land. How do university kids pick their school? Is it the academics? Professor to student ratios? Parties? Promotional videos? If you picked videos, then every kid I know would be going to Appalachian U after seeing this. And sadly, this is their current video.

And here's some pictures.

Everyone dreams of having a statue made of them. Don't you? You don't. Oh. Are you sure? Because I think that would be the coolest. Sure, there's the bird poop to deal with, but think of the lasting legacy and admiration you would have. That's assuming people know what the statue stands for. Or is of.

And finally, sadly plumber's crack is not a myth, it's reality, and I've seen it far too often. Here's the perfect gift for your pipe-turning voyeur, the Longtail T. Designed specifically to cover plumber's crack, it's an idea long due. Let's all work together to stop this horrible visage, one crack at a time.

Have a great Friday, everyone!

That's not a knife... THIS is a knife!

I had a swiss army knife when I was a kid - what normal boy (and even girl) didn't? They came in handy on the farm, too. Cutting bale strings, scaling fish, opening cans of beans in the field - they really could do it all. I did find them a little bulky, though. If you kept it in the front pocket of your jeans, you had to sit just right, otherwise it could get a little uncomfortable, if you know what I mean. I think this model might be a little too bulky for my taste, but rest assured, you could probably build a house with the thing.

Stupid Flies

I have a fly buzzing around my head this morning. It is very irritating, and if I only had a Fruit Fly Flattener, the fly would be dead. Make sure you watch the video.

Tie One On...

Now that my friends over at the Credit Union have more freedom with their clothing choices, they may have some extra ties lying around. What do you do with them? Give them to the kids? Replace the fan belt on your engine? Use the gold one as a tow rope? Sure, but you could also make something cool with them. (I think I recognize a few of them in the picture)

Crazy Bolivians

This is Bolivia's Yungas Road. Considered to be the most dangerous road in the world, 200 people die annually traveling it and a vehicle goes over the edge every 2 weeks. Live life for the thrill? Take this road for a drive.

Breakfast food you wear

Mmmmmm.......bacon.

Yes - that's the face!

Acting is hard work. Oh sure, there's the money and fame and fast cars that come with it, but make no mistake, it's hard work trying to portray the right emotion and character. Luckily, one of the great actors of our time has willingly given up some of his secrets of how he gets into character. Thanks, Steven.

We're Back, Baby!

Yahoo! You may have been wondering what happened to me. It's more like, what happened to my blog. It just disappeared. Couldn't find it. Couldn't edit it. The good people at Blogger found it for me (Hey, what's under my lettuce?). So now it can resume. Oh yeah, Friday is almost over and it's right before the long weekend. Why am I even writing this then?

This has to be one of the all-time greatest marketing ads. You see, advertising doesn't have to be flashy and expensive, it has to be effective. I guarantee you'll be singing this for the rest of the day.
By the way, I might have been kidding about the all-time greatest thing. And marketing.

Yes, I know it's Monday...

Yes, I know I missed Friday's posting, which is inexcusable since it is called The Friday File. I apologize profusely. Sometimes life gets hectic. I will try to do better in the future, master (grovel, grovel).

I have a lot of readers who have cats, so this will either make them smile or stop being readers. It's summer and time for boating and beach fun, so that means taking the family out on the lake for a spin in the tube. The kids will love it. Just the kids? Think bigger. Mom too? Think bigger. Hmmmm... the pets? Now you're getting it.

How fast can you type?

I think we all at some point had to take a typing class. I had to take one in junior high, and I did pretty good, but I never did continue typing with the proper technique. I still use two fingers, sometimes three if I really get going. Here's a little test you can take to see how good you still are. My best was 38 wpm. What's yours?

Your PIN number is...

Well, I've always said you could find anything on the internet, and now a website has found and published everyone's PIN number. Yes, if you use any kind of card that uses a 4 digit PIN, it's on this site. Scary stuff. (Make sure you check the site first before you freak out)

Boom! Boom! Out Go The Lights!

I love fireworks. The colors, the lights, the sounds, the explosions. Ah, the explosions. Some of us have a dream of being there when a fireworks factory catches fire. This guy got to live it out, except it wasn't as much fun as you think.

Monday Morning

Ugh! It's Monday and time to go back to work for the week. If you have the morning blues and hate the idea of going back to work, maybe the problem is your boss. Compare them to these bosses, and if they're not as bad, be thankful!

It's Friday! It's Friday

I love short work weeks. I don't love having to get done in 4 days what you usually get done in 5. I think we should make self-policed nap rooms mandatory for businesses. If I ever get elected Prime Minister (I guess I would have to run for office first), that would be a main point on my election platform. The other one would be giving farmers a million dollars each, because they need it, but also to see if they would still complain.

Candy. As kids, we crave candy, and we were always told to eat in moderation because of rotting teeth, bad for you, spoil your supper, etc. I can't imagine eating lots of candy now - the sight of all the sugar just turns my stomach. Here is a list of the grossest candy they could find. I especially like the Hose Nose.

For those of you who have a death wish, you'll love the next story. I don't really know what else to say, except read the headline: Man dies opening grenade with sledgehammer. This stuff writes itself.

Our relatives we stayed with on the weekend had just gotten some kittens, and were they ever cute. They loved to play and run around, but they didn't know how to flush the toilet. Yet.

Want to make some money? Have $100,000 to invest? This guy is auctioning off 2% of everything he ever makes to pay for college. Maybe my Credit Union friends can find an investment opportunity there.

Speaking of investments, here is a great real estate buy: your very own island! Close to Hawaii, great weather, probably great surfing. There is a, ahem, small issue, that could mark this property as fixer-upper, but tell me what property doesn't have at least one issue.

Have a great Friday, everyone!

Hungry? Why Wait?

My wife has an old Snickers cap that says, "Hungry? Why Wait?", which describes her perfectly. This fox also has the same motto, as he obviously wants to go the easy route for his meal.

Relax, it only looks expensive

Ahh, the bathtub. Nothing feels quite like a soak in the tub after a hard day. Bubbles, candlelight, and soft music will melt those nasty troubles away. Wouldn't it be great to be able to spend the whole day in the tub, maybe even work from the tub? Dream no more, because your dream is now reality! (although I'm not sure how you'll keep the water in)

Never Take Your Husband Shopping

Well, the long weekend is over, and it's back to work. Maybe you went camping, or like us, maybe you went to a wedding. Or maybe you got a chance to go shopping. I don't mind going shopping with my wife, because she doesn't take very long to decide something. But some women can take forever to try on clothes and make a decision. Really, I don't blame this guy at all.

The Summer of Weddings

Well, we're heading to a wedding this weekend, so the Friday File may be abbreviated this time. I'll try to get it done and out the door.

This is a great animation. It appeared on the web a while ago, but it's still really enjoyable.

We've had a lot of rain lately, and there's going to be more this weekend. But the best part of rain and storms is the rainbows. Here are some awesome pictures of rainbows.

Have lots of money? Don't know what to spend it on? Sure, we all have that problem, but how many people have answers? Well, I do. Here is what to spend it on.

We'll be going golfing this weekend, weather permitting. I hope I have enough golf balls, because it's been a long time since I golfed. Should I have 10 extra? 20? 50? How about 3000?

Snakes are really cool. These people do not think so.

And, from the "Too Much Time on Their Hands" department, here is someone who needs to get a life. He's pretty good at pool, though.

Have a great Friday, everyone!

School answering machine

This is the message that the Pacific Palisades High School ( California ) staff voted unanimously to record on their school telephone answering machine. This is the actual answering machine message for the school. This came about because they implemented a policy requiring students and parents to be responsible for their children's absences and missing homework. The school and teachers are being sued by parents who want their children's failing grades changed to passing grades - even though those children were absent 15-30 times during the semester and did not complete enough schoolwork to pass their classes.

The outgoing message:
"Hello! You have reached the automated answering service of your school. In order to assist you in connecting to the right staff member, please listen to all the options before making a selection:

* To lie about why your child is absent - Press 1
* To make excuses for why your child did not do his work- Press 2
* To complain about what we do - Press 3
* To swear at staff members - Press 4
* To ask why you didn't get information that was already enclosed in your newsletter and several flyers mailed to you - Press 5
* If you want us to raise your child - Press 6
* If you want to reach out and touch, slap or hit someone - Press 7
* To request another teacher, for the third time this year - Press 8
* To complain about bus transportation - Press 9
* To complain about school lunches - Press 0
* If you realize this is the real world and your child must be accountable and responsible for his/her own behavior, class work, homework and that it's not the teachers ' fault for your child's lack of effort: Hang up and have a nice day!

Turn heads in this baby

Everyone wants a head-turning vehicle to drive in, something that screams, "Notice me!!" Here could be your vehicle. But what does it say about you? I think it says, "Get out of my way!" or "Would you like pancakes with that?" Could also be a great eye-catching corporate vehicle. Get one here.

It's Friday!

Yes, it's Friday and we are all looking forward to the weekend. So grab your coffee, sit back, and peruse all the useless information I found for you this week. (No peeking, Leanne, wait until coffee!)

A while ago I had a link about how fish oil calms children better than Ritalin. It appears these children are in for a whole lot of fishyness after getting into the peanut butter. Oh yeah, if you have kids, don't leave an open paint can for them to play with.

Ah, the 60's and 70's. Hippies, drugs, and VW vans. Commonly referred to as hippy drug vans. Or just hippy vans. This van makes you think you are a hippy on drugs. I'll stop now.

Years ago when we were in Vancouver, we stopped at an ice cream shop that had over 200 kinds of ice cream. They had some wild flavors, including garlic. I've also had ice cream in Europe, and I've never had it anywhere else that tastes as good. Rich, creamy, delicious. But getting back to flavors, I'm sure you've all heard of some strange flavors, but I've never heard of this one - until now.

Did you know the most common cause of accidents are left turns? I didn't either, until I read this article. (I think I hear my aunt laughing already)

For those of us who enjoy video games, and even those who don't, you probably can name some popular ones: Pacman, Super Mario, Donkey Kong, etc. Someone decided to decorate their room like Mario's world, complete with green pipes and yellow blocks. I want a Donkey Kong room, with barrels and ladders! Or, if you are doing the Space Invaders theme, here is a rug to get you started.

Do tigers like pigs? Absolutely! They think they're delicious! All of them except for this tiger.

And to finish off today, some amazing ukelele playing and one of the Marx brothers banging on the keys.

Have a great Friday, everyone!

Have a bright idea? Where does your idea come from?

Some people talk in their sleep. Some people snore a lot. Some people walk in their sleep. I went to school with a guy who went to a different school with a guy (really, it's true) who would do anything the other guys told him to do in his sleep. If they told him to bark like a dog or pretend he was a chicken and lay an egg, he would. They had to stop after that one.

But, apparently, some people find a way to get a light bulb stuck up their butt - intact! If you believe his guy, he has no idea how it got there. Yes, and I have no idea how my wife got pregnant.

Have a great day!

Happy One Million, Calgary!

I woke up this morning to my wife telling me she had a dream that I was playing in the NFL. Cool! Then she told me it was an NFL farm team. Interesting, since that would probably be NFL Europe. Then she told me I was offered the position because I was running really fast away from police dogs. When asked about that, she said it's a long story, turned over and went back to sleep. Can't wait to hear that one. It also sounds like a shameless promotion for my sports blog, but it isn't.

I also heard on the radio that Calgary welcomed its one-millionth resident yesterday. Congratulations! You have a ways to go before you become New York-sized, but in many ways I don't think you want that to happen - you have to deal with stuff like this.

Have a great day!

Have another cup?

Have you had your morning coffee yet? Well, before you do, visit this site and make sure you're not overdoing it. How many is overdoing it? 4 cups? 8 cups? How about 133? Yep, 133 should be enough to kill me. Have to remember to stop at 132.

There's been a heat wave running through our poor town lately. It's been sending everyone scurrying to their basements in relief, or turning on their air conditioning (if they have it). We tried to do some yard work this weekend, but had to take long breaks just to stop the panting and melting. Spraying each other with the hose was quite delightful, though.

Friday was easier to keep cool, because I was hanging in a basket 100 feet in the air held up by a picker truck. And it was windy. Lucky I'm not scared of heights, but when you're swaying in the wind that far up, it does get a little freaky.

So how to stay cool? Well, here are some ideas:

1. Plug in your fan and turn it towards you. Purchase a commercial bag of ice cubes. Empty the entire bag into a wide, shallow container (to contain the water as the ice melts) such as a roasting pan. Place the container of ice right in front of the fan (between the fan and you), at the level of the top of the bed. The ice-cooled air will be noticeably cooler than the room air for the amount of time it takes for the ice to melt -- which is as long as it should take for you to fall asleep!

2. Alternatively, try the towel method. Hang a wet towel from two chairs to hold the ice. The melting ice will wet and chill the towel and the fan will blow that cold air on you. Place a container under the towel to catch the melting ice water. You can use a thread to connect the bottom of the towel with the container to avoid the annoying dripping sound.

3. Take a cool shower or wipe your body down with a cool wash cloth. Without fully drying yourself, hop into bed, and let the air slowly dry you. This will keep you cool for a long time, allowing you to fall asleep.

4. Consider using the "Egyptian Method": wet a sheet or bath towel that is large enough to cover you with cool or cold water, and wring it or run it through the spin cycle on a washing machine until the sheet is quite damp but not dripping wet. Place the dry towel or sheet on your bed underneath your body and use the wet sheet as your blanket. The damp blanket will keep you cool.

5. Take a pair of cotton socks, rinse them in cold water and wring them until they are damp and put them on. Cooling your feet lowers the overall temperature of your skin and body.

6. Sleep in a 'spread eagle' position, and think cool thoughts.

7. Lightly mist a top sheet, and place it in a plastic bag in the freezer. Pull it out just before you're ready to sleep. It'll keep you cool enough to fall asleep.

8. Sleep with your feet out from under the sheets, body heat will escape via your feet.

And don't forget the animals. Maybe you can give them some nice gifts, like these lucky fellows.

Have a great day!

 After years of living as a little e-mail to select friends, The Friday File is going big-time! Well, big-time for me.

So what is The Friday File? Well, we will attempt to bring you something entertaining every day, and when Friday rolls around, we will give you a whole coffee-break's worth of worthless links so the day appears to go faster. Heck, you could even find The Friday File educational and wow your friends on the weekend with your knowledge of useless facts!

So, until the next post, carry on!

Trent
