Time Blimp You stole our lunch money, but we forgive you

A work in progress, for now, but soon to be one of the foremost sites on the web for information you really don't need.  This is where people go to arm themselves with facts to annoy others at parties.  No, we don't mean political discussions, or how to make a better faux-hawk -- the harmless facts, the interesting trivia that make life interesting.  The facts that sound better described using a nasal voice.  The dorky facts.

We've hunted around for the interesting stories that we think are really cool.  Not just what techno-geeks and supreme academics will think of as cool  -- I for one have heard how the transistor works one too many times -- but the really cool stories about the world that even the algebra-disadvantaged could appreciate.  And we've tried to find relatively obscure topics, stuff not covered by yer typical PBS show or Popular Mechanics article.  You're not going to see much here on the causes of the Civil War, or on Relativity Theory.  The History Channel has pretty much wrote the book on World War II, and I think everyone on earth now knows that to a topologist, a doughnut is identical to a coffee cup.  But did you hear about the insects that understand prime numbers?  Or the day that America had no government at all?

At the moment, we're still bootstrapping ourselves up into a respectable website -- which is to say, we are not a respectable website.  Don't be surprised if an article is unfinished, or is poorly written -- eventually we will fix the first problem.  Please stop by now and again, as we add essays on important topics to the dork community.  For now, we are proud (in a geeky sort of way) to present the smattering of content we could come up with on a weekend afternoon...
