Dear Friend;
This message has been sent to you by a friend or a relative who has recently
disappeared along with millions and millions of people around the world.
The reason they chose to send you this letter is because they cared about you
and would like you to know the truth about where they went.
This may come as a shock to you, but the one who sent you this has been taken
up to heaven.
[...]
This quote is the beginning of the letter that raptureletters.com offers to send in your name to a non-believer of your choice, in the event of the Rapture.
If you wish to do something now that will help your unbelieving friends and family after the rapture, you need to add those persons email address to our database. Their names will be stored indefinitely and a letter will be sent out to each of them on the first Friday after the rapture. Then they will receive another letter every friday after that.
This rapture letter service is FREE and will hopefully gain the person you send it to an eternity in heaven.
That’s right: eternal spam. An updated version of eternal damnation that you can enjoy directly from your iPhone, intermingled with your Twitter updates!

Something I heard at German class:
In German, Bavaria is called Bayern. It is the biggest German region. It is like the Texas of Germany.

Geography lessons is what the people from Secretplaces.com need. Apparently this is a site that which strives to “provide the discerning traveller with a unique way to discover such hidden treasures, by offering an independent guide to the finest accommodations in Spain and Portugal”. Pity that they don’t know much about Spanish geography…

Compare with a better map (from www.map-of-spain.co.uk):

Yes, Google knows the answer to life, the universe and everything! (via Las Penas del Agente Smith)
But if you are looking for something more useful, you can use Google Calculator. Simply enter the calculation you want to compute in the search box. It has lots of useful operators and recognizes most common constants and units, and can do unit conversion, among other things. If you are using Firefox this becomes specially useful, as you can use the Firefox search box as a calculator. For example, input 2004 in hex in the search box, press enter and, voila! 2 004 = 0×7D4. Neat.
