This link isn't for everyone. It's a discourse on language. Foul language, to be exact. And I mean foul, so if you don't care to read those words over and over again, don't go there. From an English-geek perspective, though, it's interesting. As a matter of fact, if you find yourself pondering this silly jumble of words we use, all of
Linguistics Gone Wild is a pretty good site to read.

It took me a while to find bloggers trackback links. by default, they're the little "#" beside "add a comment." Since my comments bar is a little script, I don't have one right now. So I'm going to tweak the template and make it so there's trackback links in each title.
I also found this really cool "who's linking me" tracker yesterday, but I've lost the link to it. If I find it I'll tell you.
