If you watched the vlogbrothers you'd know what they do for impoverished people. I found out about kiva.org through them and for the past three years they've held "The Project for Awesome" where they and all their fans vlog about their favourite charities to get the word out.

I'd like the Matryoshka Russian measuring dolls please. Thanks!

I heard a strange story about Cary Grant before he became an actor. He was ice skating, fell and knocked out a front tooth. He didn't want to tell his dad because it would be expensive to fix. Eventually the remaining front tooth migrated to fill in the gap. Don't know if this is true or not as I haven't been able to find any pictures of him smiling with his pearly whites.

I don't know how you count parliament in victoria and ottawa as castles. Yes they're built out of stone and are very old but they aren't castles.

Actually this morning it was decided that McKeever would serve as an alternate and at this time will not be competing in cross country.

Interesting how they're calling the whale Telly. On the news this morning I heard the whale was called Tillicum (named after a dugput canoe that sailed around the world) as he used to be stationed up here in Victoria, BC before he killed a trainer in '91. Then he was shipped down to Orlando.

Actually the first Thanksgiving took place in 1578 in what is today Newfoundland and was celebrated by Martin Frobischer and crew.
