There is a catchy yet inane little tool that bloggers can have fun with called What’s My Blog Rated? You simply enter your blog’s URL and in less than 10 seconds a computer niftily scans all the words in your blog, and this will determine its given rating.

I also don’t bother with the flu shot. Call me stupid, but why would I want to introduce a dead virus into my body […]
