- Everyone is free to do whatever they want with their blogs. This is one is pretty cool, because you find information about things you would never think of, in the same place. It would be annoying if you went to a search engine and "search" for each topic.

- actually a pretty nifty blog, which gives you some bits of useless knowledge per blog entry---the title of the blog is exactly accurate!

- Only reason I down voted this is because the site's author is just culling stuff straight from ask yahoo and then plugging it into his/her own site. It's not the author's original stuff. Whoever made the page does cite ask yahoo as the source, but does it in a font color that is almost impossible to read on your average monitor. You have to look very closely to see the cite at the bottom of every post and every single cite is for ask yahoo. So, why not just go straight to ask yahoo instead of looking at this person's site. Oh and if you keep reading further down the page, the person used to not even source yahoo or wikipedia or anything until recently, it seems. See, that's what I'm not fond of. Using someone else's work to make your own site without putting any effort into it yourself.

- From the page: "Why do bulls attack the color red?
Strangely enough bulls are colorblind. To a bull's eye, a red cape is a gray cape. The red cape, which inspired the phrase "seeing red," is purely a theatrical tradition.
However, to a bull bred exclusively for aggressiveness, that flapping cape can prove very irritating. A nimals bred for bullfighting are tested around the age of three for aggressiveness before they go into the ring. The orneriest ones make the cut.
It's also worth pointing out that the animal in question has already been stabbed several times at the base of the neck. This happens early in the bullfight, and is performed by a gentleman known as a "picador."
And as we discovered on the Bullfighting FAQ website, two kinds of capes are used in bullfighting. The capote is a large, flowing cape which is magenta and yellow. The muleta, a smaller red cape, is used exclusively by the matador for the faena, or the final, fatal segment of the bullfight."
This is just one of the many off the wall questions answered on this site! Interesting reading, if you're bored or just want to learn something new! - From the page: "Why do bulls attack the color red?

- Loads of trivia. "Are there any countries in the world without a McDonald's?" Yeah, yeah. That's so American. So damn stereotypically narrow-minded in American style; and, eh, why even ask - let's go and bring future, McDonalds and peace to the world. Hallelujah.
