5 Million Dollars. 10 Years. This is the story of my journey.
What can you do in 30 minutes? A lot of things. You can spend it watching an episode of your favourite TV series. You can spend it just lazing around. You can spend it working out. You can spend it honing your foreign language skills. You can spend it just surfing aimlessly–something I’m guilty of [...]
… Napoleon was not a short guy, especially for his time? … the moon has no dark side? (Sorry Pink Floyd.) … when a meteor lands on Earth, it’s actually pretty cool? (Cool as in not hot.) … shampoo and conditioners manufacturers who claim to have the cure for splits ends or damaged hair are [...]
