What Up, My Dog?

Kevin is back once again to remind us that today is World Food Day, and it is good to know he was able to find steady work after high school.

This date figures prominently in a Daria fanfic called Diary of a Lawndale Student, by Bacner. Have a read and see.

In the news of the weird, today is the 139th anniversary of the discovery of the Cardiff Giant, one of the greatest hoaxes in American history. Would Daria ever do a thing like this? If so, what stunt would she pull? Would she fall victim to such a hoax? Would anyone believe her if she discovered a hoax like this and said it wasn't real? Food for (fanfic) thought, eh?

A really great contest on PPMB: Future Melody Powers story titles, by M.J. Pollard. These are hysterical!
