Bored at work/school/home? Check out The Straight Dope!

[loup garou]

I thought everyone knew about The Straight Dope, until the other day when my roomate admitted his ignorance about all things Cecil. Since then, he's been reading the archives and is rapidly approaching the level of useless facts that I have reached after years of reading the column and website. I now feel it is my mission to inform everyone about this humorous, time-wasting, yet strangely educational site/column/author (Cecil Adams -- the world's smartest human 😉).

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, click the link, go to the archives to read some classic Dope columns, and LEARN SOMETHING! 😀

Cecil has my support.

Werk, that is one way cool site! 😎 Really funny, sarcastic and informative all at the same time! Great post. 🙂

Tip of the Day #1: The Straight Dope (which started as a newspaper column) has been collected into several paperback books. Any of these books make excellent bathroom reading material-except your guests may get so engrossed that they camp out in there forever.

Tip #2: For a good introduction into what the Straight Dope is about, search for one of its classic threads on how to kill a cockroach.

Roach Thread. That is a great one! 🙂
