Phrontistery has a list of unusual words beginning with each letter, but the one letter that caught my eye was the letter U. Here are a few of the words!
- Uxoricide – Killing of one’s own wife
- Urinometer – Instrument for measuring specific gravity of urine
- Undulationism – Theory that light consists of waves
- Ubiquitarianism – Belief that Christ is everywhere
- Ucalegon – Neighbour whose house is on fire

Here is a list of the other U words.

I don’t know if this is real or not, but it is messed up. I love how everyone backs away when it happens.

Everyone has heard of the Ten Commandments, but did you know that the Vatican has the right to make driving rules. Well, they don’t but the cult….I mean Catholic Church…has made a list of guidelines to follow. The problem is that the Pope has not driven in Boston.
- You shall not kill.
- The road shall be for you a means of communion between people and not of mortal harm.
- Courtesy, uprightness and prudence will help you deal with unforeseen events.
- Be charitable and help your neighbour in need, especially victims of accidents.
- Cars shall not be for you an expression of power and domination, and an occasion of sin.
- Charitably convince the young and not so young not to drive when they are not in a fitting condition to do so.
- Support the families of accident victims.
- Bring guilty motorists and their victims together, at the appropriate time, so that they can undergo the liberating experience of forgiveness.
- On the road, protect the more vulnerable party.
- Feel responsible toward others.

I don’t understand why everyone says that a girl has to be “lady like” when they can have fun and disgusting just like guys. Here is a clip of a Red Sox Fan (girl) who was bet that she wouldn’t drink a cup of mustard at Camden Yards in Baltimore. She Won, Enjoy!!!

I was watching TV one day, there was a commercial that was created for American Express and their Member’s Project. The Member’s Project allows card holders to submit and review “good deed” types of projects and American Express will fund the winning project up to 5 million.
While I was watching the commercial, a random man named “Tim” (played by actor David Alan Basche) walked out and mentioned keeping Lake Winnipesaukee clean which shocked me. I have been going to Lake Winnipesaukee since I was born either swimming in it or taking a cruise on the “Mount Washington“. Lake Winnipesaukee is a 21 miles long lake and the largest in New Hampshire.

Wouldn’t it be great if your pillow could wake you up when you were snoring so that your roommate/significant other did not have to get woken up. Well, you don’t have to wait much longer. Come September, this product will be released for $240. The pillow is memory foam enhanced with a sensor so during a night of heavy allergies or drinking, the pillow will gently vibrate (waking you?) to stop the sleeping symphony.

John Chow blogged about a wordpress plugin that lets you get your website activity in real time. It shows your website/comment, referrer and the IP address that it came from. It is a very cool update which is similar to DiggSpy.

Unfortunately, I do not get a lot of traffic at 12:30ish in the morning so my activity is a little spread out. However, it is a lot of fun to look at.

New Hampshire was one of the original Thirteen Colonies and became the ninth state to ratify the United States Constitution in 1788. New Hampshire was the first U.S. state to have its own state constitution, and is the only state with neither a general sales tax nor an income tax. Its license plates carry the state motto: “Live Free or Die.” The state nickname is “The Granite State”, in reference both to its geology and to its tradition of self-sufficiency. Several other official nicknames exist but are rarely used.
NH is my neighbor to the north and it was also my home while I was in college at Plymouth State University. It is also home to Mount Washington which holds the record for the highest recorded surface wind gust in the world at 231 mph.
The Old Man of the Mountain, also known as the great stone face, was a series of five granite cliff ledges on Cannon Mountain in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, that, when viewed from the correct angle, appeared to be the jagged profile of a face. The first recorded discovery of the Old Man was in 1805. The outcrop was 1,200 feet above Profile Lake, and measured 40 feet tall and 25 feet wide. It collapsed on May 3, 2003 after centuries of wind, snow, and rain, as well as freezing and thawing cycles, finally caught up with it.
