The official place for all things Laura!

A few random factoids I learned this week

without comments

1. For all the TTC users out there: ever wonder why the subway often waits forever at Eglinton station? Other than the transfer stations (St. George, Bloor-Yonge, etc.), Eglinton is the station people most often get lost in.

2. Soap operas are called soap operas because when they were first around, in the 1930s, they were sponsored by soap companies.

3. I was reading my marketing textbook today and found out that the term “tween” comes from between - because they’re not teenagers but not young children either.

And for no reason except my current obsession with this song, here’s some U2 singing Moment of Surrender, in a vid I shot at the Rogers Centre last week.
