We all know about that awkward silence, the one that ensues when you’re suddenly in a small room with 5-10 other people you don’t know. Politeness seems to indicate that the people around you are sworn to silence, that perhaps it’s rude to break the sacred silence that is the lift ride. Talk In An Elevator Day tells us to break that silence, and maybe make a new friend or business acquaintance on the lift. Who knows what can come of just speaking up and introducing yourself?

Cheesecake Day is one of the creamiest days of the year! It’s a day to indulge in the decadence of this dessert, and sample some of the tastiest flavors. From the humble plain baked to the tangy key lime or maybe a chocolate one would hit the spot. Whatever grabs that sweet tooth it is certain that today is the day for some cheesecake!

Some accounts of the origin of tiramisu date its invention to the 1960s in the region of Veneto, Italy, at the restaurant "Le Beccherie" in Treviso. Specifically, the dish is claimed to have first been created by a confectioner named Roberto Linguanotto, owner of "Le Beccherie". Le Beccherie is supposed to have invented it on 24 December 1969. It is sometimes claimed that Tiramisu has aphrodisiac effects and was served in brothels in Treviso.

Kgrind.com - the multi channel broadband entertainment network that was going to be the first global, multi platform MTV … A template for television in the new media age! A post card from the future that confused an excited people as much as it made them cynical … [It is somehow appropriate that a blog about the failed KGrind project also goes nowhere.]

It’s the political scandal that threatens to stain the entire election and leave an unmistakable skid mark on Scott Morrison‘s political career: Whether or not he, in 1997, blasted shit out of his ass into his goddamned pants at the now-mythical Engadine Maccas.
-
“That is the biggest load of rubbish that thing,” he laughed. “I must admit I’ve been constantly amused by how something like that goes viral. I sometimes joke with my staff, not that we can do it at the moment, ‘do you want to pop into Engadine Maccas?, just for a laugh.

Former Liberal Craig Kelly confirmed he'd spoken to Mr Palmer, but said he was yet to make up his mind. "All the minor parties have spoken to me," Mr Kelly said.
