  1. The daily ’5 question’ quizzes are what originally brought me to the floss years ago. I didn’t know they were still posted!! I thought they vanished when the website was redesigned. VERY happy to see them again!

  2. Don’t forget that Dr. Horrible won in their new category! And the cast made an appearance at the show.

    I remember them from a while ago but haven’t seen them posted on the regular blog stream for months so I forgot about them.

  4. I regularly have trouble navigating the Floss’s website. I don’t know why there’s not an easily locatable “Feeling Art Again” archive or “Quick Ten” archive. Y’all do yourselves a disservice. I love the content, though!

  5. The daily five questions are under the “Trivia” link. I would have put them under the “Quizzes” link, but nobody asked me.

  6. You’re from near here? Where? (Now I’m just nosey. :) )

    (Also, I’m assuming you’ve heard the They Might Be Giants song about The Egg? :) )
