Another Update

Greetings and welcome back to The Un-Zone, the semi-irregularly updated site on the Internet devoted to all things related to Un. It's time for one of those semi-irregular updates. It's another post on this blog. I'm going to hit two-hundred posts.
I went to the public library on Saturday and got some(a very loose term) books during their book giveaway. Yes, I have no real social life per se and I like books a lot. But you probably don't want to read about this mundane stuff going on in my life. On to other stuff. Though I have to admit that some psychologists have a strange sense of humor. I would have never guessed that one can poke fun at vegetarians so well...

This is quite possibly, one of the more obvious stories coming from Louisiana. People are sending a lot of complaints to the the state board regulating contractors. Nearly 60,000 of them every month. Which reminds me of a joke involving contractors. Which I will not mention here, but the punchline involves their propensity to give nothing but estimates.

Something interesting for all those people who are interested in dialects and American English. Basically, those people who like knowing where people say certain things, like "What do you call a long sandwich containing cold cuts, lettuce, and so on?" I'm one of those people and well, here's a handy site that examines these questions and places results on maps.

And some research that shows that some people have too much time on their hands. Or a fascination with Kylie Minogue. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I think the scientist who came up with this had more than time on his hands. Only an Englishman would do research like this.

And yet more research that shows people have too much time on their hands. Something Easter-related in a morbid way. Scientists debating on how the Romans crucified people during Biblical times. It doesn't really matter how it was done, but who it got done to. No matter how it was done, it was a painful way to die.

That's all for now.
