- 1000 Awesome Things - This is definitely some male's attempt at finding reasons to be grateful in life. He's still only on 910 last I checked, but that is still quite impressive. My favorite is the smell of a freshly opened can of tennis balls.
- Woman blind 3 days out of the week (News Story). I thought this would be a fascinating beginning to a, "Would you rather..." question. Any ideas on finishing it? I would say, "either no sight for 3 days or no smell/touch?"
