It’s said that every journey begins with a single step; even so, it’s odd to think that one of the culminating events of the High School experience takes its name from a simple walk. You might have already guessed that Prom is a shortened form of the word promenade, but did you ever wonder what…
It’s the atomic number of Unqadnilium (yikes!). The age at which Job supposedly died. The phone number for you’d dial for directory assistance if you found yourself in Cairo. It also happens to be the maximum number of characters that can be used in a tweet. You know us. We’re friendly, open and tend toward…

Even if you’re not particularly extreme, chances are you’ve clipped a coupon or two at some point. After all, over 80% of Americans use coupons – even if it’s just once in a while. Coupons are a relatively new-fangled thing, historically speaking. The first were handwritten tickets issued by druggist Asa Candler inviting folks to…
Saturday’s St. Patrick Day, and that can only mean it’s time for the wearin’ o’ the … blue?! Yes, blue. As strange as it seems to us now, the color originally associated with St. Pat was not emerald, but azure. However, owing to the holiday’s spring timing, the colors of the Irish flag, and that…

We all are. Literally! At sea level, the Earth’s atmosphere exerts 14.7 PSI (pounds per square inch) of pressure, so our bodies think that 14.7 PSI is completely normal; you’re completely unaware of this pressure that operates on and in you at all times. In fact, we’re willing to bet that most people don’t think…
The times, they are a-changin’. And to that? We say “good”! We’re happy to spring forward and adjust our clocks accordingly. We’ll still have our same office hours, and the change to Daylight Savings Time won’t have any affect on our ability to get all ads posted on findnflip.com within 30 minutes of when we…

… and a pretty significant one at that! On March 7, 1876 Alexander Graham Bell was granted U.S. patent #174,465 for a new invention: the telephone. Three days later, on March 10, he made the first clear transmission of spoken words using the new device. When Bell died on August 4, 1922, all U.S. &…

Before the days of the internet, we remember listening to local radio on snowy mornings to find out about school cancellations and delays. You really had to time it well, though, because the names of the schools were read in alphabetical order, and if you happened to tune in just past your school’s spot in…
