The Best Comments Of The Month: July 2011

• 13 years ago

Sneaking into the Pyramids of Giza, hanging out in North Korea, and trying to figure out where the heck bagpipes came from and more – in these best comments of the past month left by readers like you. Or you. Scroll down to find out.

• I might have pushed Leif Harum to recommit a crime but he may help all of us hopefuls with that aliens-building-the pyramids thing. See? It’s for a good cause.

• Imperator leaves us with some great information on what you need to know if traveling to North Korea.

• I’m severely behind on my Ultimate Train Challenge planning but Stephen has already helped out my leg in China immensely.

• Barbara Weibel tells us the Nepalese nod backward as well, though I suppose it’s all relative, especially if you’re Bulgarian.

• Turkey’s For Life and I are taking votes on who invented the bagpipes – “aliens” is also an acceptable answer.

• Santiago Calatrava, one of the designers of Valencia’s City of Arts and Sciences, has also designed many other buildings you may be familiar with, Linda points out.

• Sherry Ott and Lash both ask why you should type out the entire URL when browsing the web at Internet cafes.

I often have trouble calling out the “best” comments – there are so many good ones to choose from each month and every single one is appreciated. Underneath just about every post is a good discussion brewing. Don’t be shy yourself and join one of the conversations, we won’t bite. Besides, it’s kitten-recommended. You can’t beat that kind of endorsement.
