Ed Hardy Wine?

Why does this hideous clothing designer make wine? Has the American public finally realized these clothes suck and he needs a new outlet for profit? Or is he trying to sell a lifestyle? It makes sense that Francis Ford Coppola makes wine because he is Italian and we like his movies. But Ed Hardy?! Really? We bet his wine is just as repulsive as his clothing.

J.K. Rowling's Economical Use of Napkins?


For those of you who don't know, J.K. Rowling (author of the Harry Potter series) wrote the first Harry Potter on napkins. How did she keep track of them all? How did she keep them in order? Did she number the napkins on the bottom right corner? Left? Did she use front and back? What color were the napkins?

GUEST POST! Mike and Mike on the Mic!

For the first time ever on the internet, we present you Mike and Mike on the Mic! Hi Meter Pugno and Cohn Jonnell. Here is a list of things in the world that intrigue us;
Cohn Jonnell
As you might have guessed, this is a guest post on the internationally acclaimed blog of Brelly. What you might not have guessed is that the authors of the blog are sitting across from Mike and Mike composing a post of their own. Intriguing.

Additionally, for the male readership, girls have weird stick things coming out of a bottle that are apparently for the purpose of improving the smell of the room. Realistically, it looks like a bunch of sticks stuck in a bottle of water. Intriguing.

Glitter on the back of the chair in the suite. A random chair has an unusual amount of glitter on the back of it.

The sounds a toothbrush makes. Yo quiero taco bell.

We hope you have enjoyed the wonderful list of intriguing things that we have found intriguing. We hope you tune in again to Mike and Mike on the Mic. See you next Sunday night!

Sleeveless Turtlenecks?



We don't understand why women sport this fashion--if it's warm enough to wear a sleeveless shirt, than its too warm to wear a turtleneck! Why would you want to make your neck warm but your arms cold?! That's like wearing a neckwarmer with a tank top. Useless! Please...if you own a sleeveless turtleneck, help us understand! In what weather do you wear it?

New Blog Features!

We added a poll to our blog so you can vote on your current favorite post. We are trying to gauge your interests and cater more towards what you want to hear about! We also added a fish box where you can drop fish food and watch the fish swim and eat...it's kind of fun.

Feel free to comment on our blog! We love to hear back from you all!!!

Brelly?


burbrelly!!!!


Our readers have been wondering, as have we, why our blog cannot be googled. Frankly, we have no idea and are completely new to blogging. Through our efforts to figure out how to google our blog, we have learned that "brelly" is slang for umbrella in the U.K. Very interesting...so while you cannot google us, you can think of us everytime it rains! Cheerio! It's a burbrelly!

Toddler Beauty Queens?


Toddler beauty queens...not just intriguing but also bizarre. Why do parents put their children through this? Is this just a classic case of parents living their dreams out through their children? Frankly, these toddlers terrify us...real life dolls. I've always wondered why parents constantly insist their children "want to do this" when the legal age where your voice actually matters is not until 18. Do they really want to do this? OR DO YOU, MOM?

Nose Grease and Beer Update!

We have our first update on something that intrigues us thanks to our blog's biggest fan!

The oil from the supposed "nose grease" reduces the surface tension of the bubbles in the foam making them collapse and go down.

YAY! One less thing to wonder about...

Nose Grease Effect on Beer?

As we tried to get rid of the foam in our beer from the sake bombs we were getting ready to take at our favorite hibachi restaurant, we wondered why people tell you to touch your nose and then stir the beer with your finger. We have both done this many times before but never spent the time to wonder why it works. We suppose it's the result of the chemical reaction...but whoever discovered that is a genius. Anyways, next time your beer is foamy, there is a quick fix!

Icicle Bicycle!



I think this intriguing post is fairly self explanatory. This is "icicle bicycle"! We saw it while walking to our favorite high intensity aerobics class at the gym this winter. Isn't it awesome?!

Qualifications of a Flirty Fragrance?


What makes a smell flirty? We have recently become uber-fans of Betsey Johnson's perfume because we feel that it has a flirty smell and will help us get boys. This perfume isn't a particularly fruity scent. It is attention-grabbing, but not necessarily over-the-top. Luxurious, yet approachable. Is this what makes it flirty? Is this scent playing hard to get?

4. Red and Purple?




It's easy to fall into the trap of black and white and brown and navy but sometimes you want to break out of the shell and have spurts of color in your wardrobe! Who pioneered purple and red? Where do they fall on the color wheel? Isn't it usually true that things on the opposite side of the color wheel usually belong together? Does this work? Does this mean that we can now wear yellow and green together? But don't yellow and green when mixed together make brown? Are we back where we started? Brown...


3. Chatroulette?

Creepy? Yes. Fun? Yes.
If you haven't already heard of it, Chatroulette is an online phenomenon in which you are randomly matched via webcam with a random stranger from around the globe. Creepy? Click next. Penis?Click next fast.
The New York Times recently reported on Chatroulette but we can offer some first hand experience. In one night of Chatroulette, we were asked to "show our tits" 5 times (one of us did by accident..whoops) and met one 60 year old predator in Brazil who asked us to call him "daddy".
Will Chatroulette fad away as many of these websites do? Or will it become the new facebook?
Personally, we hope for the prior.


2. Profitability of Postsecret?



Frank Warren recently spoke at our school and we began to wonder how much he earns from Postsecret and how he earns it. He does not advertise on his site but he does have books that he sells. He says that he donates money to 1-800-SUICIDE but how much actually goes to this organization? Is Postsecret his full on job? How much is Postsecret actually making this man? Is this his way of life and retirement?

1. The Origin of the Word "Blog"?

"Blog" is a strange word and yet it's something that has become in regular use in our daily vocabulary...especially now that we have one. When did "blog" become the term for this type of social networking website? How did it become popularized? Who came up with it? Can we just make up a word for anything? How does it catch on?

Welcome to our blog!

Intriguing: that which sparks curiousity

Hi everyone! This project began about two weeks ago when we scrambled to complete our Acting class homework. As two college juniors, we simply didn't have time to fill up the 25 pages of journal entry we needed to complete the assignment. So...we started writing down things that intrigued us...something we had continuously noted in our daily dialogue (we spend a lot of time together). This blog documents the intriguing ideas, places, people, things...that populate the list. Some things we have revisited have had developments and some things remain unknown. Join us on our journey and feel free to answer and comment on our questions and post things that you find intriguing yourself.
