It's a small world

I visited Stitches of Violet after seeing the link at Zeneedle. Neat blog, so I left a comment saying hi. She checked me out in return, and mentioned she has a sister living in Chapel Hill. Small world!

Another small world item today... my officemate pointed out the first sentence in "How to Lie with Statistics" (which I still need to read), which is the quote "there are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics," by Disraeli. Disraeli, I thought. Hmmm... I wonder... there's a Disraeli bridge in Winnipeg near where I grew up. I wonder. It turns out the quote is by Benjamin Disraeli, a British politician and author, and the bridge is named after the same guy. Cool. :)
