I Bet Robin Hood Never Had This Problem…

For absolutely no reason I want to take archery lessons. I wonder if I can find a place with lessons that aren’t full of 8 yr olds. I don’t have a problem with 8 yr olds, but I do have concerns about armed 8 yr olds.

The Opposite of Portland

Remember when I asked Colin what the opposite of Portland was and he said Florida? Well, It turns out the opposite of Portland is actually somewhere in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Huh.

Antipodr.com – find the other side of the world for anywhere you want. Not sure why you’d want to, but it might come in handy if Jeopardy ever gets big again or you ever meet Ken Jennings.

My Bag

Deficient though I may be in the area of terrorist elimination, I think I can give Jack Bauer a run for his money when it comes to useful but unusual shoulder-bag contents. Inspired by Jamie’s post about the mysterious contents of Jack Bauer’s bag, I decided to do a little inventory myself. I’m not making this up, I swear.
