I Forgot About Jean-Claude Van Damme

Somehow, over the last ten years, I had managed to completely forget about Jean-Claude Van Damme. He wasn’t simply ‘out of sight, out of mind’, I had completely forgotten him.

Astronomy is the Devil

Check out this cool series of the 10 Strangest (real) things in space. I’m personally amazed at how quickly God threw all this crap together, but I guess that’s why I’m not God, that and I don’t have a bushy white beard.

Buy Toronto’s Smallest House

This is cute, and MLS listing for Toronto’s smallest house. Appears to be about $600/sq.ft. though. It’s in my old neighbourhood but I’ve never seen it. I’ll have to drive by and see if it’s real.
