Read an interesting article about te Arctic today.  I have thought that it’s just a giant piece of ice up north (that is melting because of global warming) but this article sure teaches me some intriguing facts.

And I don’t even like blue at all.   So, I tweaked the results a bit (for those questions where my answer wavered among choices, I decided to play around a bit.  Not exactly cheating, as hubby called it.)  I found that if I wishes to visit Switzerland instead of France, I becomes a Swiss cheese.

Which I guess is not totally off, just that I hate that Swiss is an American imitation of Swiss Emmenthaler. And Swiss cheese, whether from Switzerland or America, is not exactly my favorite either.
