http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/wire/sns-religion-survey,0,7375137.story I want to take this survey, mainly out of curiosity as to how a lifelong atheist, with absolutely no exposure to the Bible beyond the scenes depicted in the museums I so love, would fare.

Movie Posters 101 | Quizible
http://quizible.com/quiz/movie-posters-101/2921 Fun – and not easy – movie poster recognition test. 74 was my final tally (of which I’ve seen 31). I’m surprised at how effective some of these posters were at sticking in my head. I’ll blame them for causing me to forget things like my 11-times-tables and all those piano lessons I had […]

The rest of the explanation is made up by this excerpt from multi-kajillionaire producer, Michael Bay, here being forced to explain why two characters in his blockbuster are portrayed […]
Travian – Browser Game – Romans, Gauls &Teutons
http://www.travian.com/ I love strategy games, and I’m ace at resource-gathering. This, however, is the slowest resource-gathering strategy game I’ve ever played – practically real-time, including the hike to a forest in order to cut down the damn trees.
