You enter in your age, you get to see what other people have done at your age.

Or, perhaps it’s the inspirational, “Dude, I should come up with a new way of thinking about math, like Calculus, but I’ll call it Mathzilla!” kind of site.  More likely it’s just depressing.

Avoid Embarrassment With This Map http://www.culturegeeks.com/2007/12/03/going-to-france-avoid-embarrassment-with-this-map/ http://www.culturegeeks.com/2007/12/03/going-to-france-avoid-embarrassment-with-this-map/#comments Mon, 03 Dec 2007 20:23:26 +0000 David Edwards http://www.culturegeeks.com/2007/12/03/going-to-france-avoid-embarrassment-with-this-map/ kissing-map1

It shows how many times you should kiss someone as a greeting. I was happy to find out that there were no 5′s, as you’d end up spending half the day kissing all the people you meet. Although, there are much worse ways to spend a day, I suppose.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but if you’re going to be kissing someone as a form of greeting, two seems like the right number. One is dismissive, three…well, it’s an odd number, that’s no good. Four…well, you made your point with the first two, now you’re just slobbering on them. If there were any Fives, I’d bet that province was wholly populated by serial killers.

I can not fucking believe that we started talking about CG five years ago. Five! And I still like Jen’s suggestion that we prominently feature a Captain James Tiberius Kirk decorated egg somewhere on the site.
