That title is a ridiculous pun on the old Little Caesar’s commercials where this little Roman guy in a toga says “Pizza! Pizza!” I don’t know how well it worked. Hm.
Anyways, according to Wikipedia, the word Visa came from the Latin phrase, “carta visa,” meaning “a document that has been seen.” Which is fairly strange [...]
I found out recently from an old friend of mine from preschool that her sister, who’s been living in London for the past two years attending King’s College on a Marshall Scholarship, is planning to swim the English Channel this summer. Apparently it’s become a pretty set process where would-be swimmers have to reserve a [...]
My plan while in London is to have a cell phone on me at all times, basically for emergencies and work, if necessary. I’m going to try to do any casual phone calls on Skype, which is possibly the most useful piece of software out there right now. This will save me oodles of money.
