"What Bob and Doug don’t know is that Angus MacInnes,
the actor who plays Rosie, played Gold Leader, one of the Rebel
Alliance Y-Wing pilots who died during the attack on the Death Star in
the original Star Wars."

What makes you think they don't, or didn't, know that?

The author recommends that you spray it on your clothes to deodorize them, then goes on to say, "...because it can leave a scent that lingers..."

Huh.

How has nobody else figured out that Fenster is based on Thelonius Monk? Here's a clip that should provide you with all you need to be convinced. Wait for it. He says, "You're gonna flip. I mean flip for real."

Re: Should You Use a Curiosity Gap to Persuade Your Visitors to Click?

MJH — Mon, 16 Mar 2015 14:17:17 -0000

I think it's really important to make that distinction between 'wow so many clickings' and being more effective at completing the goal (which you've done).

Curiosity clicks can mean paying for a bunch of clicks that don't convert. When directing to content, it can reduce time on page when people end up not getting what they came for -- given they really didn't know what they were coming for other than filling in the gap in the first place.

And like you've addressed, you got more clicks, but did not get more conversions beyond that. Will be interested to see more tests of this nature.

This is a really great answer. I had a piano teacher who told me that a Steinway grand piano is a beautiful instrument, but unless one is proficient with the fundamentals of music, one cannot use it to its fullest extent.

Great advice!

Wow. You took this as truth. Well done. No, it was not published in The Onion. It was broadcast on This is That, a satirical radio program. Congratulations.

Works best when you include your Google Now and Google Search on the home screen. Happy to see Yahoo! is not killing Aviate and instead developing it. I was worried when they bought it.

There is a distinct lack of sincerity in life in general, and the world would be a better place if more people were genuinely sincere in their interactions, whether they be face-to-face or in front of 50 people. Cheers, man. Crystal's one of our faves as well. :)

Re: Her Name Was Rachel Hoffman

Thanks, Kaleb. I am aware that many deaths occur as a result of the war on drugs. What I'm referring to is when she says, and is very specific, "Do not ever, ever forget her and the thousands of countless others who
are killed in the line of duties they ought never have participated.
Each year, there should to be vigils for her and countless others who
were put into these impossible situations and lost their lives."

What she is saying is that people who are involved in situations just like she was, and that there are "countless thousands" who lose their lives as a result. I'm sorry if this is being pedantic, but I'm genuinely curious to know who these other thousands are.

Hi, this is a horrible situation and I agree that all of this is ridiculous. I would, however, like to hear more about the "countless others who were put into these impossible situations and lost their lives." Can you point to something that supports this, please? Curious to know about that.
