Bet you didn't know blind people could drive. This is them really driving, not any kind of self-driving car.

I had no idea that Basking Sharks were capable of breaching, just like Great Whites. This is quite the feat because the Basking Shark is over twice the size of the Great White.

This game is called Vib-Ribbon, it is made by the game developers NaNaOn-Sha, the same guys who made Parappa the Rappa and Unjammer Lammy.
I just found out about this game yesterday, which is surprising since I love Parappa and Unjammer Lammy. It may not look like it, but Vib Ribbon came out after Parappa and Unjammer Lammy.
The really cool thing about this game is that it has the original soundtrack of mostly j-pop songs, but the player can also use their own CDs in the game. That seems pretty fancy for 1999.

I am twenty-two years old, in college, and I like to think of myself as somewhat smart. Which is why it is inexcusable that I don't really know the difference between 'affect' and 'effect.'
I am a psychology major and as you can imagine these words come up a lot, when writing something, I generally choose whichever word seems to fit the sentence better. That's sort of stupid, so I finally decided to just look it up.
What is the difference between 'affect' and 'effect'? The simple answer is that 'affect' is a verb, and 'effect' is a noun.
Examples from dictionary.com;
The cold weather affected the crops.
Exposure to the sun had the effect of toughening his skin.
Affect- to act on or move the feelings of someone/something
Effect- something that is produced, power to produce results.
All this seems simple enough, I feel kind of stupid for just avoiding it for so long.

Don't be an asshole, acting like you too good for some sharks.

If someone, most likely a dumb woman, says that Andy Warhol is their favorite artist, leave their presence because they don't know shit about art.
