Review My Post is an interesting program provided by PayPerPost. If a blogger goes to your blog, reads a post, and blogs about in their own blog via the “Review My Post,” that blogger gets some money for the post as well as you. Its an interesting concept thats simply an evolved form of referrals, but its probably very effective. This is definitely a good opportunity for bloggers to build traffic and offset their costs. We’ll give it a shot.
Heres how it goes:
Flashladybug has its PayPerPost account.
We post anything. Lets just say….quantum computers and their influence on cheese production
You…a blogger, have read abovementioned post and have decided that its totally wrong. that its totally right, that we’re all on drugs.
You click on the “Review my post” button that will be located under each post.
You sign in/create a PayPerPost account.
You write your post and finish the assignment.
Once it has been verified, Flashladybug gets money, you get money
We all get money
We’re happy.
See, its simple, easy, and ya know what? it supports both you and us!
We shall implement this feature soon, probably tomorrow. For now, you can check out the specifics at the PPP site and generate traffic.

Oh, and just for your knowledge:


All posts that are paid for via PayPerPost on this blog shall have that nice blue bar indicating that we have received monetary compensation. However, please note that very few opportunities exist where the tone of the post is either positive or negative. Its usually neutral. Also, if we do not agree with the post’s required tone, I wont do it. All the ideas and reviews shall be from the poster and not affected by the payment. Thanks!

You know….when I read this…my first reaction was…you have GOT to be kidding me. Watched the video, and thought…dear god thats stupid.
It works.

To spare you the video: take a car with locked doors. Take tennis ball with small hole in it. Place tennis ball on the keyhold, with hole lined up with the keyhole. Press the ball as hard as you can, forcing air into the hole. Watch in amazment and disgust as your car now magically opens. Watch the video on Crooked Brains

Caffinated Donuts

“How about a Buzz Donut or a Buzzed Bagel? That’s
what Doctor Robert Bohannon, a Durham, North Carolina, molecular
scientist, has come up with. Bohannon says he’s developed a way to add
caffeine to baked goods, without the bitter taste of caffeine”

How To Disinfect a Sponge in a Microwave

“ A team at the University of Florida found that two minutes
in the microwave at full power could kill a range of bacteria,
viruses and parasites on kitchen sponges.”

1.  WET SPONGE.
2.  Microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes.

Very usefull information.  However, too many people forgot to wet the sponge.  A dry sponge is combustable, and burns quite easily.  Especially when placed inside a microwave for 2 minutes, when it’s bone dry.  So, remember.  WET the SPONGE!

Overturned Truck Spills Bottled Water and Soup on highway 401 in below freezing temperatures.

I’d hope by now everyone has figured out where this post is going.  Soup, bottled water, and cooking oil were all spilled over the highway, and then froze to the lanes of traffic.  There was one minor injury in the truck crash, and one bus got a flat tire from striking a bottle of water in another lane, although there were no injuries to any passengers.  Sand and salt was distributed to clean the mess.

(Personally, I’d have light the cooking oil on fire to boil off the water, then enjoyed the nice hot steaming soup.  Roadkill stew anyone?)

A psychologist, Piers Steel of the University of Calgary has created the equation for procrastinators.

U=E*V/I*D
Where, U=desire to complete task
E=expectation of success
V=value of completion
I=immediacy of task
D=personal sensitivity to delay

Wonderful…. Thanks for the nugget of genius

Now, remember when there were these videos on youtube of “Can you Blend it?!. YES YOU CAN!”  ?
Well…now, its, CAN YOU FRY IT! in a microwave. Some are very impressive…some are just meh. Then again, putting things in a microwave often isnt the best thing to do. Its fun anyways.

“An 11-year-old in Hillsborough County, Fla., who has lost his hair during

“”(Leukemia) treatment kicks my butt and it makes me feel sad,” Pedraja said.
“But I want to be looking forward to something and knowing that I’m helping
people.”"

Okay, this is better than the last sleep-related post I made.  This lists some serious facts.

REM sleep occurs in bursts totalling about 2 hours a night, usually beginning
about 90 minutes after falling asleep  (Ed. note – REM is considered the deepest type of sleep)

REM dreams are characterised by bizarre plots, but non-REM dreams are repetitive
and thought-like, with little imagery – obsessively returning to a suspicion you
left your mobile phone somewhere, for example

The record for the longest period
without sleep is 18 days, 21 hours, 40 minutes during a rocking chair marathon.
The record holder reported hallucinations, paranoia, blurred vision, slurred
speech and memory and concentration lapses

Most of what we know about sleep we’ve learned in the past 25 years

Experts say one of the most alluring sleep distractions is the 24-hour
accessibility of the internet

And that’s just a few.  Read more here (unless it’s keeping you from a nice medium temperature bed)

This is a basic overview of the differences between the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P 500.  I knew the basic histories of these three systems, but not the small details.  This article basically sums up in three paragraphs the differences of each market, and how exactly what the market measures differs.  This is a very basic overview, not all that technical by any means, but still some good base knowledge to have.
