Jenny, Are You There? - Eight six seven five three oh nine...  Who will ever forget the early 80s hit from  Tommy Tutone "Jenny (867-5309)".  This guy called 867-5309 for every area code in America and documented the results.  Useless but fascinating stuff.

What's That Song? - Best. Game. Ever.  I could easily spend all day on this site.  I went 10/10 with the Pearl Jam edition and 10/10 with the Tragically Hip edition and now I'm going to try some artists I'm less familiar with.  Wicked web-based fun for everyone.

Name Popularity By Decade - I put in my first name, Michael, and it's off the chart.  My name was the most popular male first name in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.  If you're wondering what the most popular male name was in the 1940s, I learned that
