Hello everyone and thanks for stopping by. We are childhood friends who grew up, graduated college, and now have our very own blog. Living the dream, right? Since kindergarten, we’ve tackled topics ranging from travel to science to sports to food to politics to technology to religion. Expect posts on all of the above and more from us, as well as a guest column or two.

A Common Mistake
The Western Roman Empire fell in 476 AD. That is not a question, that is
not a guess, it is a fact. Ms. Svoboda made damn sure each one of us knew that
before we left her seventh grade social studies class.* Ask any one of my
classmates today and there’s a pretty good chance they still have each one of
those characters etched in their brains. 4-7-6-A-D. Well, nowadays turns out
they’d be wrong.
