Weird Niagara
AOL Travel is RIP so you can now find the full story HERE.
Everybody knows Niagara Falls for its majestic natural beauty. Sarah, however, knows all about Niagara Falls for its weirdness.
Y’know, the wax museums, the Sky Wheels, the giant hamburger eating Frankensteins… that kind of stuff.
Hoping to channel her expertise in the bizarre, AOL Travel asked her to compose a list of the kitschiest things in Niagara. You can read about them all by clicking here.

Josey Vogels
What music do Canadians listening to when they’re doin’ it? Not, apparently, 3 Inches Of Blood.
That’s what Sarah found out when she spoke to sexpert Josey Vogels about a recent SiriusXM study on the sexy-times listening habits of Canadians.
To the best Vogels could figure, Canadians listen to everything when they’re porkin’. Except Raffi. No Raffi.

Neil Young
Neil Young gets no respect. From the Grammys. Just like Rodney Dangerfield.
According to Aaron, that is. He went deep into the Grammy Award archives and found out Neil has won Grammys only twice in the 22 times he’s been nominated. And one of those was for packaging.
Heck, Weird Al has won more Grammys.
CBC Music wanted a closer look, so the resulting article tracked what other Canadians had won more Grammys than Neil, and what won in the years that Harvest and After The Goldrush didn’t.
