October 2007 Archives

This week my old drunk emailing post was linked in a sidebar of another mental_floss article which was featured on CNN. The upshot? My post went to 100 comments, many of which are pretty rich. Anyway, a pretty big week with that and the Friday post on Halloween giveaways.

I was sick this week and didn't get all of these done during the previous weekend -- so the last few should be filtered through my DayQuil-induced haze.
