Here's my next illustration -- I mean, 'drawring'. Believe it or not, but it actually has to do with the text in Is That a Fact? Plus, it's eye-catching!
Also, after much homework this month and just not seeing the point in continuing the list of Odds, Ends and Beginnings, I have decided just to wrap it up and move onto the next article!

A trivia item a day...
...is how I am constructing my final section on 'Fast Facts and Trivia: Is any of it true?' I've just combined the last two sections because they don't really fit into two categories anyway.
The first three items, which I've been working on for the past couple days, are the origin of the toothbrush, the microwave, and, in a way, the kneecap, though not in that order. I shall probably re-arrange them a bit as I add more.
I'll come back when I've finished the whole thing... it's called Odds, Ends and Beginnings.

Finally finished with said new page!
It's really long and detailed, and I hope for my readers, fun! These are five words/phrases whose 'netymology' I once received in my email. There was a lot to explore on each one, and though all of them turned out to be false, it's a really interesting read!

Finally, a new page!
It's another section of the page 'Fast Facts and Trivia: Is any of it true?' called Word and Phrase Origins. Incidentally, none of the 'facts' about these particular word and phrase origins have turned out to be true.
However, I've been so busy with college in the past month that I've only managed to finish the first couple of items by this time. Now that I'm on Spring Break, I can go back to building my website, so I'll continue building this section piece by piece.
Count on it.

Corrigendopedia's first internally-linked page!
You know how some internet pages have a list of links that correspond to items lower down on that page? I've always wondered how to do that, and it turns out it isn't so difficult! You just use a 'name' tag (really!) and then create a link to that 'name'. I learned it here.
I have used it on the Animals and Vestibules (trivia investigation page), which was really long in its enthusiastic, detailed explanations. Now, you can click on each individual title and it takes you to that item, without having to scroll down and find it!

Animules and Vestibules -- the real facts, and more!
I've finally completed the Animules and Vestibules section of the page Fast Facts and Trivia: Is any of it true?
I think I've done a decent job taking a handful of 'factoids' and actually finding the 'real story' in great detail, all while demonstrating how I've done it. My only hope now is that others find it just as fascinating as I do!

The 'deleted' article finally making a comeback!
I've been slowly re-writing the article that was completely deleted (Internet Trivia: How much of it is even true?), and now it is about 1/3 finished. Since I'm re-writing it with a main page linked to different 'sections', I figured that was far enough along to publish the main page, along with the ostrich, once again:
The new title is Fast Facts and Trivia: Is any of it true? Some of it is, of course, but what? That is what I'm investigating! The first section of trivia I will be publishing is about plants and animals, which I whimsically named Animules and Vestibules. It's coming up soon.
