15 Inscrutable Facts For The Better-Than-Average Info Hound

Rocket propelled mail failed, twice.

So, enjoy this list of interesting facts I've assembled here for you. It's not very long, but I do hope it's of some use to you. I was first introduced to the word “absurdist” in a high school English class, but it didn't really click until a few years later when I learned about the absurdist movement in art, music, and literature. Now I understand the meaning, although I don't think I've ever experienced the feeling of it personally. The funny thing is that I have a friend who loves this sort of art, and another who has no idea what it's about. If you asked me to define it, I would struggle to explain, because I've never experienced it myself. I enjoy this list because it's like an absurdist painting. You can't experience it directly, you have to read about it and try to piece together your own understanding of what it might be trying to say. Enjoy.
