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?

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.
