I was flipping around Bloglines a bit randomly today and I saw this article about an English professor taking the English GRE.
First thoughts? I really don’t know much about English literature. I can recognize, say, 50% of the authors in that. Maybe.
Do English majors really have to know all that? Wow.
Sorry this isn’t a more interesting post…but I was just amazed!

Folks, if you still have your ColorCode 3-D glasses from the Super Bowl and last night’s Chuck, might I recommend ColorCode’s 3-D gallery.
The photos are really cool. So cool, in fact, I want to try and make one some day. And, even the thumbnails are 3-D! Plus, try moving your head around…
ETA: Oooh, Flickr account.
ETA2: Cooooool. (Remember to follow the directions…)
ETA3: Heck, everything here.

Inspired by that “25 Things About Me” meme that is all over Facebook–and which I’ve done–I figured I could use this space to let people know other odd things about me. Some of these might be long posts, others short. If nothing else, they will be boring and quite banal, but they will get me writing. Huzzah! So, now for Random Thing #1…
I am afraid of small insects.
Odd, eh? Note, this is only small. I don’t mind tarantulas. But a tiny little spider? *shudder* I love watching big ol’ butterflies and moths. But a small miller moth? Those small, harmless, food-for-swallows moths? Freak me out!
There is one exception to this rule: bees, wasps, yellowjackets…all those flying, stingy, yellow, black, harbingers of doom. I am scared of them all. Even the mundane honeybee that doesn’t want to bother me at all. “Run away!”
