I am the internet

[kitewithfish]

Or, at least, that's what the sign on my door says.

My firsties have decided that I am the internet. This is due to the fact that, when they have a question, they check with me first before googling it. And I always seem to have an answer, or know where to get one.

I did not put them up to this, but I am so enjoying it.

It is true, though. I am a sputtering font of random information. I frequently know things and have an opinion on them for no good reason. Mostly, I thought they were interesting for about five minutes, read an article or two, and just happened to retain the information. Tracing my brain back to *why* I know something is a task worthy of the Sleepless crew from Beggars in Spain, but that makes it its own kind of twisted fun sometimes.

The highlights of what I've filtered through in my random quest for knowledge today:

Lou Ferrigno has the worlds softest and most gentle handshake. Ever.

I'm guessing that he must have accidentally broken someone's arm off while shaking their hand once, and now he has to try extra hard not to do that again.
