Things To Do This Week.

Rise Up.

One thing that's always bothered us is, if use numbers like twenty-one or thirty-two when counting, then where the hell do the words “eleven” and “twelve” come from? And why isn't it just “oneteen” and “twoteen?” Language is weird. But there's at least a clear-cut etymological reason for those two.

Something else that's bothered us for a few years now is what we're supposed to do on any given night of the week. But at least there's now sites like ours that provide a few clear-cut solutions to the problem, too.
