Every now and then I'm going to plug one of my other blogs, just for the hell of it, really. One of my longest-running blogs (which still isn't all that long, really - a year and a half or so, it attempts to present something with an interesting name every week (I tend to fail at sticking to schedules, but it is the thought that counts). The name is poorly chosen, because (a) they're not all 'things', many in fact being people, and (b) I choose
noteworthy names, which may be cool or may be horrid. Wonderful or terrible - it's up to you to decide which is which. A few examples:
- Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, a UNESCO world heritage site in Alberta,
- Canaan Banana, former president of Zimbabwe,
- Dog Vomit Slime Mould, a fungus,
- Fresh Kills, the really graphically-named garbage dump in New York City,
- Inky Mark, a Canadian politician,
- Eyjafjallajökull, the Icelandic plane-stoppng volcano,
- Jacques Tits, a Belgian mathematician,
- Disko Island, an island in Greenland, and
- The Shoes of the Fisherman`s Wife are Some Jiveass Slippers, an album by Charles Mingus.
