beards
!the following is out of date as i have shaved my beard off, but i spent about an hour writing it so it's going on my blog anyway!
I'm a part-time beard grower. I've always had sideburns of some length or another, but my other facial hairs have usually been kept in check, although i frequently don't shave for up to a week. I've possibly never grown a beard because it makes me look older but i'm beginning not to really care about that. Anyway, the point of all this is that i've been combing the web for beard related sites and there is some interesting stuff.
the best place to start is all about beards. this is an excellent website with comprehensive coverage (geddit!!) of all things hirsute. there is a great deal of info about various types of facial hair, pictures and discussion on hairy topics. The gallery offers a insight into the world of the beard grower, with comments from the owner of each picture. The comments range from touching (a man dedicating his beard to his dead friend) to scary ("I grew my beard because: "no beard = no man". I see the world through my beard" says Kribba from Sweden whilst walking into a doorway). There are also different sections of the site covering many subjects from the rules and running of beard growing competitions to attempting answer questions on the mysteries of the beard.
Incidentally, when looking at the parts of the world where the gallery entrants originate from, the most enthusiastic beard growing populous seem to hail from the UK , Sweden and Australia, although i have a sneaking suspicion that lack of internet access may be holding back hordes of hairies from the less developed parts of the world.
this is a website about a beard growing pact. it's a bit touchy-feely but it somehow reminds me of Fight Club none the less. there is a new pact starting in late 2007, so watch out International Money Corp.
apparently James Hetfield (of Metallica) has a beard and it has been accused of being a terrorist. find out about it's history here.
that's enough about beards for now. next week i'll be tackling merkins. maybe.

Uncyclopedia
I found my way to a site called Uncyclopedia. it is a record of all things incorrect and was created by Oscar Wilde(!).According to the authors, Scotland's national anthem contain the lyrics:
- Get tae buggery
- Oot o' here
- Afore a skelp yir airse.
and to top it all off, the whole thing is approved by the Kansas State Board of Education. Apparently.
Other interesting Wiki sites:
have you ever wondered how to make a hipporoller? well try howtopedia.
or do you need a new purse? make one from duct tape. instructions at wikihow.
alternatively you may want to know the 99 names of Allah (although there appears to be only 15, maybe i'm missing something).
maybe you need to know the enemy. try conservapedia or creationwiki to swot up on the 'facts'.
finally, perhaps you may simply need some tongue in cheek black history or be planning for that trip to the shetland isles. either way there is a wealth of knowledge out there. be warned though it might not all be true.......
death of a glowstick
Ok It's actually an advert and if you look at the other things on the blending list, they spookily coincide with releases of various products and films, but this is cool and would be great for parties (& maybe cocktails).
