Did you know that you can find farmers in your area that will deliver fresh produce, honey and cut flowers for an entire season for about $50-200? Split it with the fam, roommates or a neighbour and it sounds like a deal to me!
Go to www.localharvest.org and click on CSA to find your local farmers.

Brilliant advertising
If you haven’t seen the most unique and annoying advertisement in the world, please click here to see it.
Simply repeating the products’ name forces you to remember the product itself, not necessarily purchasing it.
First off, applying a glue-stick like product to your forehead to escort a headache out of your system. [seems placebo-like to me [...]

Do you have a favourite planet?
I do. It’s Pluto. Oh wait he’s not a plant anymore. How are you going to explain that to my childhood fantasy? Tell me, how?

Miss teen?
After watching something educational on the History Channel I decided to observe Miss Teen USA 2006. Oh joy.
