Calum's Curiosities

Just a few things that occurred to me in the past few days:

Last night as I was helping Aonghas mark his answers to the road code questions, I noticed that subsequent answers spelt:

A C C B A D

Could this just be mere coincidence, or could it be some subliminal message the LTNZ are trying to get through to us, that ACC is BAD?

Kiwi Careers, a website run by government agency Career Services provides A LOT of job outlines, but some have been excluded from the list, such as street worker, escort, prostitute... You would think that having legalised prostitution for two years now, the government would promote this initiative. Kiwi Careers has had plenty of time to create and add job outlines for such occupations, as they're now considered as perfectly acceptable career options now aren't they? (that should be read in a sarcastic tone)

Dictionary.com has published an alphabet of most looked-up words in 2005. Probably the most interesting inclusions have to be the words 'love' and 'sex' for most looked-up words for the letters 'L' and 'S' respectively. Do people not know how to spell a three-letter word such as 'sex', or have they just been looking in the wrong place to get their thrills?
