Things I Learned Today

1. Novel Pictograms are not as easy as you'd think they'd be.  Especially if you've only ever heard of 5 of the novels in question.

2.  Apparently the New York Review of Books has the power to "break" the story on the alleged person that radicalized the Tsarnaev brothers.  Since when does the New York Review of Books break stories on anything other than, oh I don't know, books?  I thought reporting and tracking down leads was the news outlet's job not a Book Review site's...

3. No offense to Wales and the Welsh people but the Welsh language is quite difficult to decipher.  I'm sure I'm missing years of study but after just a quick glance it looks like Alphabet Soup.

4. Those who injure themselves and use Facebook, have a much higher chance of photographing and sharing body parts with their followers as those who are not injured.  I'm sure your broken toe/leg/nose is sore but why would you want to share your gnarly/ bruised/casted/bloody body parts with the rest of us?

5. Richard II is proving a much more difficult read than Hamlet or A Midsummer Night's Dream.  I'll eventually get through it but I may need a re-read to get the full gist.  Though one thing I did notice is that poor Richard II gets an entire tragedy named for him but not a great deal of lines.
