MapPoint explains the Vikings?
When going from Haugesund, Rogaland, Norway, to Trondheim, Sor-Trondelag, Norway, be aware that following Microsoft MapPoint's directions, will take you through England, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and finally back into Norway. While this may be culturally sensitive and respectful of historic Viking routing, rooting, or looting, it is somewhat less efficient than other routes, as a quick glance at a map will show.
Start: Haugesund, Rogaland, Norway
End: Trondheim, Sor-Trondelag, Norway
Total Distance: 1685.9 Miles, Estimated Total Time: 47 hours, 31 minutes
This is listed as the "quickest" route.

Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.
From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, like when you're on vacation in another city and "Jeopardy" comes on at 7 p.m. instead of 7:30.
Her eyes were like two brown circles with big black dots in the center.
He was as tall as a six-foot-three-inch tree.

French kissing can be so dirty
Scientists say more than 40,000 parasites and 250 types of bacteria are exchanged during a typical French kiss.
BTW: The current French-kissing record is held by Louisa Almedovar and Rich Langley, from New Jersey, who kissed for 30 hours, 59 minutes and 27 seconds in 2001 ... they would have burned over 7,000 calories.

Size and selection times
Did you know that the time it takes you to point your mouse, or your finger, at something is predictable from the size and distance of the object using an equation known as Fitts's Law?
Ah, the smell of grilled moron in the morning
"You're a fatuous insult to the species. You should be stripped and burned at the stake of commonsense. I will stoke the fires with Jonathan Cainer horoscopes ripped untimely from the Daily Mail, and as the flames lick ever higher, I will suck the smell of grilled moron greedily down into my lungs." From The Guardian - are you a woman who believes in astrology? (Then let me back you into a corner - and beat some sense into you)
