Trivia: the National Anthem of Spain is Hummed, Not Sung

There are many graffiti masquerading as "urban art" in defacing street signs, but this true artwork by Colombian artist Andrea Acosta is something else: her artwork is on "the b-side" of the signs!
Part of the "Life Goes Public / 10 Public Art Interventions to Update Paula Modersohn-Becker in Worpswede," to commemorate the 100th year anniversary of the death of painter Paula Modersohn-Becker.

5 Hotspots for Dying Languages
An article at Anthropology.net summarizes an alarming trend of the extinction of languages, particularly in Northern Australia, Central South America, North America’s upper Pacific coastal zone, Eastern Siberia, and Oklahoma and the southwestern US:
“Every 14 days a language dies. By 2100, more than half of the more than 7,000 languages spoken on Earth—many of them never yet recorded—will likely disappear, taking with them a wealth of knowledge about history, culture, the natural environment, and how the human brain works.”

ZIPskinny
Enter your zip code in the application ZIPskinny and find information from the 2000 census report. I found some odd facts about the people in my zip code. Only 3.5% are unemployed, yet 22.5% are below the poverty level. 13.3% percent have a college degree, and 60% are married, which puts me in the minority on both counts.
