5 Useless Monday Facts

Love finding things out!



1. There's a bee dieoff/problem going on. http://abfnet.org/news/honey-bee-die-off-alarms-beekeepers-crop-growers-researchers/
It might be worth it to put some local bee habitats in your garden area just in case;

has some ideas. (Thanks to Rick's Uncle (great uncle?) for this information.) (I think this will be a this week project.)

2. Flash MMORGS are suddenly huge; my two favorites: Vox Imperium http://www.voximperium.com/ and curiously enough, Urban Dead, where I've died and been turned back 4 times. http://www.urbandead.com/ Hmm. Another way to waste time on the network.

3. Lent doesn't exist on Sundays. The 40 days doesn't count the Sunday feast days. Ack! Well, there ya go. Thanks Father Matt! http://catholicism.about.com/?once=true&

4. Cheese is good. Mmmm. Tibetian yak cheese! (Very much like parmesan; hard milk cheese) Wenslydale! (British. Cheesy. Somewhat boring.) Cheesy Poufs! Mmmm.

5. San Jose Giants open on Thursday; so does Little Minsky's. Hmm.

See the link I posted. You can help the native bee population without hosting a hive!
