It's strange how history unfolds (and there's actually evidence for this)...out of ancient sources comes Egyptian mythology, out of that comes much of Judaism (although it appears to be more eclectic), out of Judaism comes Christianity, out of early Christianity comes Paul and Catholicism, out of C...

It's never too late to become a vegetarian and do something good for yourself, animals, and the planet. As far as Mad Cow in the US, that was just a matter of time . . . And risk getting mad soybean disease? Actually I prefer the vegetarian versions of meat dishes. With companies like Boca and Quor...

On a related note, here's a list of coupon codes for use at Staples.com. Sweetens the deal a bit more.

Totally cool, nice find.

I just type 'whistle' in their search bar and see what comes up. You get their whole range.

I was going to order a snake charmer from them, but they put it on backorder. Anyone ever play one of these things? It's a hollow gourd with a double reed and two bamboo shoots sticking out. One shoot plays a drone note and you play the melody on the other one. The blemished one I ordered was only $...

You might want to keep an eye on this topic.

I have new Christmas whistles, including a candy-cane decoration whistle, suitable for hanging on the tree, or playing. Key of D. Pictures will be on my website by tomorrow morning.

I've got a few whistles here that I'm interested in selling or trading. I'm looking mostly for something in the key of Bb, low F, or low G, but any offers would be entertained. I also wouldn't mind combining several of these for a relatively higher-end whistle. Click on the thumbnails for a larger p...

So sad, it was one of the last remnants of the golden age of 'business models based on giving stuff away for free'. I've had a couple bands up on there for years now, and even though they get like 5 clicks per month it'll be sad to see it go. As far as alternatives go, I've heard recommendations for...

Me ole salt n' vinegar recipe ain't only for dummies. :D Here it is for the fine sir/madam so he doesn't have to search around: Heat a glass or two of vinegar in a pan, bring it to boiling while dissolving kitchen salt in it to saturation. I.e. keep adding salt and stirring until the salt doesn't s...

If you're really cheap like me, you can get free domain names as well from http://www.dot.tk/. The island of Tokelau gives them out as a way to generate publicity for their tourism industry. After you sign up, you can go into the settings and disable the little popup ad they put on there.

nope, you don't need a domain name. For example, my webspace is at http://s87131043.onlinehome.us. It doesn't exactly roll off the tongue however, so I was thinking about getting a $6 domain just to simplify it. Also, you don't need any credit cards or other financial information, so you don't have ...

They're certainly photogenic whistles, but dude:

nerd alert

Don't get them wet and don't play them after midnight.
