Golden Gate Bridge (12/29/10)

The official color of the Golden Gate Bridge is “International Orange.” 

It sounds like a flavor of soda that might give me mercury poisoning.

But are they losers? (12/24/10)

A study performed by social psychologists in 1995 showed that participants awarded bronze medals were happier than competitors that finished with silver medals.  They were happy just to medal, while second place finishers were disappointed they didn’t win.

Thus, I refer to those who receive the bronze medal as “participants,” and those who get the silver medal as “competitors.”  I bet the fourth place person is less happy than every one though.  Except for the second to last place finisher.  I would rather get dead last than second to last.  At least if you are second to last, you can say that you are the first winner.
