Random Links

I usually like to save up random links for a post such as this. Most of the time others blog on the topics before I get a chance to gather enough to make a full post. Some times I just get bored of the topic. Today, however, was a rare instance where I landed on enough cool random links in a single day that I just couldn’t pass it up. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did.

Britain’s War On Chewing Gum — Every year, 935 million packs of gum are chewed by 28 million Britons, leaving millions of sticky, inconvenient lumps in their wake. The globs can only be removed with high pressure steam hoses, expensive freezing machines, or corrosive, environmentally unfriendly chemicals, costing taxpayers £150 ($300) million per year. The desperate state of affairs has attracted millions of dollars of research into non-stick chewing gum, but the country is desperate for a quicker solution.
