a few short odds and ends

Blogging is about sharing.  Here's a few odds and ends of no particular importance.  However, they maybe important since someone thought of putting them on the internet and that means - what does that mean?  Nothing other than some blog fodder.

Odds - interested in finding the odds of something?   Here's one related to the season.

Twice as many cooking-related house fires occur on Thanksgiving than any other day of the year.

That statistic comes from the Book of Odds web site.

Ends - The end of another Raisin Monday nears as I write this.  Here's a picture from Raisin Monday (those are foam covered students)

University of St Andrews

It's a student tradition where older students adopt first year students as 'children', and guide them through the first year of academic life at St. Andrews in Scotland.  I don't know if they wear kilts during this event, but glowing colored outfits must be a requirement for anyone labeled 'C'.

A friend sent me this link of an interesting building in London.  I didn't want to steal the pic, so here's a link to the  site of interesting architecture from around the world that had the picture and lots of background info.

Happy Thanksgiving - Bit of advice - Don't cross the road like this turkey!!
