Not that sort of random fact. This sort.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I love that Matt linked to Jane's site. Polgara, it looks fantabulous. Seriously.
Encyclopedia Brown was one of my childhood favorites. So great. It's where I learned the magic of cheating by boiled egg in an egg spinning contest.
Also, am a bit joyful today because there is CAKE in my fridge: triple chocolate mousse cake and a napoleon. From Porto's. Which is now down the street from me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Oh crap, I'm dying over the Chuck Norris thing again.
The Dinosaurs looked at Chuck Norris the wrong way once. ONCE.

"My balls are the size of grapefruits."
Ow. Also, probably hard to find trousers that fit. It would be like being a woman of narrow waist and ample butt, except backwards.
The funny part about Encyclopedia Brown was how many stories were based on what the author expected "any kid" to know back in the day, which doesn't always translate to today. When I was 7 or 8, there was one where the girl-sidekick figures out the mystery (and Encyclopedia doesn't) because she knows that men don't wear petticoats. Now, possibly I would have known this at age 10 or 12, but at that point in my life I had no idea what petticoats were, so the Giant Obvious Clues went totally over my head.

Meh. The lamb schwarma wrap I got for lunch was very disappointing, and I had to throw most of it out. And now I'm hungry again.
I think Kat should send me some cake.

Did you know they were opening one, Kat?
I should go to the mall and buy that belt that is too expensive. Which reminds me--Kat, if you have a free afternoon we need to go shopping sometime.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yeah. IIRC, they've started in both Belgium and Germany before, but at least those are, you know, contiguous.
