How To Win at Monopoly

If you're like me, chances are you've never successfully played monopoly to completion. I suspect (but have nothing to back it up), that only one percent of those who have played monopoly have successfully completed the game. This site explains how to win at monopoly, so that the next time you play, you might want to continue to the end.
My favorite tip:
Always buy railroads, never utilities.

No More Homework

This site isn't the first to point this out, but I just happened to come across it recently in my interweb travels. Essentially what it is about is how homework really shows no statistical benefit as far as learning goes. The site doesn't touch on some issues very much though, like the fact that homework provides some benefits that are non-academic, like the ability to meet deadlines, time management, among other things which these days seem to be invaluable skills. Do I think homework should be stopped as it has no academic benefit? Of course not, but this mainly comes from my attitude of "we had to do it, and so should they."

Hot Mouth Remedy

I'm all about spicy foods most of the time. I put hot sauce on almost everything. But what happens when you get in over your head. I know that if you enjoy spicy foods then you will know what I'm talking about. For everyone else, it's when you order something spicy at a certain restaurant and it is much hotter than you bargained for. Well anyways. The remedy I now propose to you: Cranberry juice. It has to be the 100% juice kind, no concentrate, no cranberry "cocktail." I believe that I have just discovered this, as google searches yielded no results on this subject. I was going to post it on the message board for the show "mythbusters" who recently did an episode with one of the things looking at cures for a fiery mouth, but I can't bring myself to sign up to a message board run by a TV network. But yes, preliminary tests have suggested that Cranberry Juice seems to end the burning sensation relatively quickly and with great fanfare. Give it a try and let me know your results.
