Once my distracted search for the difference between Australian food spreads sparked the idea of a blog, I set about trying to think of a unique and catchy name.
In typical fashion, I ended up looking up how to own an Oscar Meyer weinermobile, the left hand rule of electromagnetism, the federal bailout, the tentative birthday of Snooki's baby, how to make a nautical themed necklace and somehow managed to stumble upon a piece of trivia that really struck a chord.
The highest scoring word ever recorded in Scrabble history is, you guessed it, Quixotry. The word was made on two triples and scored a total of, you guessed it again, 365 points. Now, I've found several varying meanings of the word, stemming to what I believe is a difference in opinion on Don Quixote. The word can either mean a grand/visionary scheme or rash/impractical act. So, if you believe Quixote was a lunatic, this blog is going to strike you as mighty strange.
This is my quixotry. For the part of this blog, I'm going to research questions that pop into my head, and write about them. The questions range from the evolution of man to how to make a fishtail braid to what-the-hell-is-gluten-and-do-I-miss-it-in-my-cereal?
The questions might be profound, they might be perfunctory, they might even be political!
Enjoy.
