Does anyone have some interesting topics for me to check out? What are your favourite?

Tonight I have been checking out these:

Betty Grable - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Interesting thread, yay for Wikipedia fans!

I like, besides broadening my knowledge of music, gathering information about languages and specific countries:

Etymology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ethiopia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I like using wiki to search for philosophers and topics about existentialism.

Them greeks were smart!

That's pretty cool, it sent me to some wiki page about 'Umpolung'
Which in organic chemistry is the chemical modification of a functional group with the aim of the reversal of polarity of that group.

But im so stupid i just thought of Oompa-loompas.

*Oompa song*

Looking in wiki what is 'Umpolung'
But when you get there you don't understand
could it be possible you're-f*ckin-dumb?

It's-a-possibility."

I used to have a similar homepage, but it was for random Jack Handey "Deep Thoughts":

The More You Know.™


Draught beer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hmm, I always assumed 'draft beer' (oh sorry, I mean draught :/) was always the same thing, but apparently some are better than others. Also never realized how complicated it is; but 21st century improvements sure do make it easier!
Now I know why it so damn expensive, (always worth it though).
