Blogging Elsewhere

Well I may have been unable to make it to the tutorial, but that ain't going to stop me from getting the blog done! (Seriously, all classes should have this kind of setup, it'd make things a lot easier, although might result in nobody bothering with the classes themselves...)

Now let me say, not using Google OR Wikipedia to find info is kind of... well, hard. Knowing anything is just a quick Google-search away, and I don't like the idea of not having that. However, I shall rise to the challenge and give this my best, think-outside-the-search-box effort.

1. "Worlds Largest" anything is an immediate go to the Guinness World Records site. And oh surprise, they have a record. Now technically this is for the largest Jack O'Lantern, but they're made from pumpkins so it counts. It was 666.32kg (oh the spooky irony) and unfortunately the page doesn't have how long it took to grow, but to make up for it here's a pic of the lantern:

2. This was easy, I actually follow Lily (it's not a double 'l') on Twitter, and I know she tweets from her mobile so I'm pretty sure that would be a super fast way to giver her a holler.

3. 18 inches according to this unusual site found via a Yahoo.com search. (It's not Google!)

4. Okay this is going to be a bit weird, but I went to Dictionary.com and it didn't know the meaning of the word... That say something about glycomics or the website? BUT I followed its link to search the Reference.com portion and it says glycomics "is the systematic study of all glycan structures of a given cell type or organism". In other (my) words, it's science bitchez! That's as defined as I get. I'm pretty sure you made the "seagull manager" thing up though...

5. David's first film was Transfer in 1966 but was only 7 minutes. His first FEATURE film was actually Stereo in 1969, a bit longer at 65 minutes. The film featuring Deborah Harry was Videodrome.

6. Written on January 8, 1986 according to the original website.

7. The '555' prefix came from the US system of exchange names or some such, according to telephonecollecting.org via another Yahoo search. I'm not exactly sure what it means but basically 555 was vastly unused and so it was set aside for movies and tv-shows to use in place of real numbers. Interestingly, Australia seems to have no such system so, theoretically, any number given in an Australian production could be a real number...

8. Walk. Don't even need internets for that one.

9. Okay you said don't use Wikipedia for ALL our answers, and I'm not. Just this one... Because it was really difficult to find. Using the wiki page on the ARIA Charts I found that the top single on the 21st August 1965 was The Beatles' Help/I'm Down, which actually stayed in the top spot for 8 consecutive weeks! Yay them?
