It will be Mundane on Friday
We’re hosting the The Carnival of the Mundane here at The Skwib this Friday, if you’d like to send in a submission. Here’s what the carnival is all about:
The Carnival of the Mundane is a bi-weekly forum for bloggers who write tales of daily life. You may think your latest post about how you accidentally backed into your garage door isn’t very interesting, but you’re wrong. We’re interested, and there are lots of us out there. The Carnival of the Mundane is the only blog carnival to have its own blog. We are open to all bloggers and readers, and everyone is welcome to take a turn hosting.
Send your submissions to me at author (at) markarayner.com, and if you’re looking for more info, you can find it at the Carnival of the Mundane website.

Speaking of gems, Ahistoricality has mined a brilliant website that is a massive satire unto itself, and features this news item: WTO Announces Formalized Slavery Model for Africa.
In a similar mode, this is not technically a blog, but still damned funny satire on what would happen if some proverbs were true.
Back to the blogs, and gentle reader, you’d better strap on some Depends because Miriam has discovered The upside of burkas.
John at Hell’s Handmaiden suggests that when it comes to Bird Flu you should have No worries. Of course, he’s not even factoring in Kang’s Corollary. Continue Reading →
Don’t miss out on the History Carnival
Pure genius. And make sure you check out which pseud0-historical figure you are, via Historicus.
