Did you know that the average UK citizen carries around three "mysterious keys" with them? It's probably a higher number for US citizens. We could have dozens of keys to different dimensions, and we don't even know it!
Er. In not really related news, here's a fascinating collection of blueprints from insane asylums. This led me to a site on Kirkbridge buildings, which is even more fascinating. There's even a weblog!
I was willing to go along with this theory that organized religion will "go extinct" in various countries...except that the article lists Ireland as one of the countries, and I can't imagine religion ever leaving that nation completely.
Italy is having a huge science and sci-fi convention called Levantecon, and I wish I could read Italian because it looks like it's going to be a great time!
Meanwhile, here in America this weekend, we celebrate Mule Day. Yay, mules.
Also Opening Day! We have parades in this town. We're kind of silly that way.
