If not finding out the answers to the past few Sunday Riddles has been driving you nuts, I’m sorry! (Though I didn’t see any comments.) Here are some answers:

For last week, (-GRY) the answer with this wording is “language”.

For the week before that (Unite or Divide) the answer is zipper.

And one answer for the riddle before that (Talking parrot) is that the parrot is deaf.

Also, the answer to the random riddle is Christopher Columbus. Happy Columbus Day!

meltinyourmouth: Sometimes, a hug is all what we need. Free hugs...

Fri, 10 Oct 2008 18:41:12 -0400

meltinyourmouth:

Sometimes, a hug is all what we need. Free hugs is a real life controversial story of Juan Mann, a man whose sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger to brighten up their lives.

In this age of social disconnectivity and lack of human contact, the effects of the Free Hugs campaign became phenomenal.

As this symbol of human hope spread accross the city, police and officials ordered the Free Hugs campaign BANNED. What we then witness is the true spirit of humanity come together in what can only be described as awe inspiring.

In the Spirit of the free hugs campaign, PASS THIS TO A FRIEND and HUG A STRANGER! After all, If you can reach just one person…

(Music by Sick Puppies)

This is a great movement to try to spread through the world.

In an effort to participate, the Christian Fellowship group at my college made sweatshirts saying Free Hugs with a bible verse, showed this video, and went out into the campus and hugged people, talking to them afterwards about this whole deal.

If you like videos like Powers of Ten, this Metafilter entry lists a few videos that zoom into common materials (like steel, aluminium, and hair). For a few more “Zoom Into” videos, follow the links for related videos on the right side of the video links. My personal favorite is the video for zooming into plastic.

The School of Life:

jingc:

Once upon a time, it was easy to find books that you could enjoy and felt were relevant. Now a new book is published every 30 seconds, and you would need 163 lifetimes to get through all the books offered on Amazon. That’s why The School of Life has set up a bibliotherapy service: the perfect way for you to discover those amazing but too often elusive books that can transform and illuminate your life.

No matter what I click on, I think “Wow, that’s something I would love.” How wonderful. (via GOOD)
