Forget The Credit Crunch and Tell Me Something Interesting

Image via Wikipedia

Are you one of those people who just like to stick with what’s familiar, or are you curious and excited to find out about things you didn’t know, or hadn’t seen before?

My guess, given that you are even on this particular blog to start with, is that you enjoy reading about and looking at things that are out of the ordinary. I don’t know about you, but I get tired of articles about vitamin supplements, car insurance and the credit crunch. Bring on something a bit more interesting and let’s get away from counting pennies and fighting off the next round of swine ‘flu’.

So, I came up with these as a start. If you have a really interesting link to show off please just email it to me. You’ll find the address on my profile. Don’t put it in the comments box because I’ll just delete it. People who leave their links in my comments box are one of my pet internet hates and they rate right up there with popups and those stupid ad boxes that slide across the screen in slow motion while I’m reading.

Wow! I’m in good ranting form today.

Anyway, here are the links I mentioned before I started getting carried away.

Who discovered the first explosives and what did they do with them?

Why are some people afraid of cats?

The next time you kiss someone could your lipstick be the kiss of death?
