Seven tricks that Web users don't know

Exotic Places

The most exotic place I can think of is a lonely, unmarked dirt road. There you are driving down a quiet stretch of pavement when you see a dirt road going off to the right. Soon all sorts of questions come to mind: Where does it go? Who made it? Why is it there? What treasures will I find by following it? When was the last time it was travelled? Oh, the wonderful things that are at the end of the dirt road.

Of course, I just keep driving. Driving a dirt road is rarely as rewarding as imagining driving down it.

Modest Clothing

From an AP Press article we read

In 2002, a group of Arizona teens submitted a petition to the Phoenix division of the Dillard's department store chain asking for more modest clothes. The chain began carrying more conservative styles.

Nordstrom spokeswoman Deniz Anders said the company has been hearing for about two years from customers who want more modest looks, and Nordstrom tries to carry a broad array of styles in its stores.

One wonders who exactly is asking for the "fashions" we see if the people who they are targeted at are asking for better.
