3. SIGHTINGS AROUND THE WEB: That Was Random!
Finally, the Christmas rush is over, the relatives are gone, and you still have one more holiday this year. Why not just sit back and do something random, or at least view something random? This Web site has a variety of random things to do: check out strange laws at random (in Maine, shotguns are required to be taken to church in the event of a Native American attack.), find out random facts (Ernest Vincent Wright wrote a novel, "Gatsby", which contains over 50,000 words -- none of them with the letter 'E'), learn random phobias (decidophobia: fear of making decisions). There are also short, online videos which are definitely random plus a lot of other things to do. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the random view (and have a good New Year!).
