Coincidences, regifting, last words, 100 most metal moments
Well, sleep has proved elusive... grr! Maybe it was all the tea I had at dinner! Also, my Firefox dictionary reset itself AGAIN when I restarted the computer earlier: I hate when that happens! I had a lot of words in that thing! Since I can't sleep, I'll give you three links and a list of metal music moments. Gotta love the alliteration, haha.
1. There is an old saying that "there is no such thing as a coincidence," but whether or not you believe in Fate, it is hard to argue with the fact that sometimes extraordinary circumstances conspire with uncanny synchronicity. OddWeek.Com presents the 20 Most Amazing Coincidences, a highlight reel of happenstance that will challenge even the most skeptical of readers.
2. Fans of the TV show Seinfeld will remember that the brilliantly insightful sitcom first coined the term "re-gifting." For those of us previously unfamiliar with this ethically-challenging verb, it is clearly defined in Webster's New Millennium Dictionary of English as "to give as a gift something one previously received as a gift." With the motto "Really, you Shouldn't Have," Regiftable.Com is part forum, part etiquette guide, and part tribute site to the underground world of re-gifting. Read about the five "W's," hear stories from fellow re-gifters, learn tips to avoid getting caught, as well as other artful devices to help you through the uncomfortable, hilarious, yet all too frequent dilemma of what to do with a present you don't want.
3. Depending on the situation, words can be powerful tools for communication, a medium for art and humor, or just "all talk." If you love history, or just have a dark sense of humor, you are bound to appreciate the Last Words Browser, an online collection of the final words uttered by famous people. Browse the index alphabetically and read the last words of well-known authors, poets, politicians, composers, dictators, prophets, scientists, artists, royals, and other famous figures in human history. Spoken just before their passing, these memorable finales include passionate sentiments of faith, profound philosophical statements, and unbelievably callous and witty jokes. Our personal favorite was uttered by Oscar Wilde on his deathbed: "Either that wallpaper goes, or I do."
