Welcome to Wednesday, July 13 2011’s Clicks of the Day!

• Almost Every Type of Cancer Kills More Men Than Women

  Intriguing!

• Dogs that ate owners remains given all clear for adoption

Thank goodness!

• [Video]: Lost Reporter Wanders Onto Live Television

LOL oh my god, her face when she realizes.

• Air Canada ordered to pay $12K to man who couldn’t order 7Up in French

Wow. You can get sue for anything these days eh…

• [Infographic]: Twitterize Yourself: @lindork

Mike twitterized me using visual.ly today. Interesting stats. I’d be interested in even more stats though, lol. :)

• [Infographic]: The Seven Types of iPhone Owners

And while we’re on the infographic/visual.ly topic, here’s one for the day. I think I am “The Overuser” lol.

• Google officially announces “What Do You Love” search tool

Idk how much I’ll use it yet at this point, especially since it’s “launch” was so quiet. How about you?

• Council paints homely scenes on boarded up windows to attract buyers in one of the UK’s worst places to live

Weird way to try and tackle this issue. This wouldn’t make me want to buy a home in that area at all…

• ‘Harry Potter’s Ralph Fiennes defends Lord Voldemort

I see where he’s coming from, yes. Funniest part of this article: “He added that sometimes kids would come visit the set, and one even burst into tears. ‘I felt very good about myself,” Fiennes said, arguing that “children should be really scared of Lord Voldemort.'”

• Harry Potter’s History of Controversy

People make too big a deal out of everything! Harry Potter 4EVER. lol.

• OU, MSU to battle in Harry Potter game of quidditch

Fantastic. I wish Quidditch was more popular in the Edmonton area… what a great/fun story that’d be.

• The International Quidditch Association

And tacking onto that, if you wanted to see just how this fake, magical sport has taken off in real life, check out the IQA website!

• What Everyone Can Learn from the BBC’s new Social Media Guide

Always good to read big news org’s social media guides. This one makes me wonder if I should take the “@GlobalEdmonton” in my Twitter bio line off.

• Why Are Glee Stars Really Leaving the Show?

I suppose I’m not as gleeky as others, I didn’t even know Rachel, Finn and Kurt were leaving! That is kind of shocking but… well, read on for possible reasons why.

• Harry Potter fans hack a road sign in Kentucky

Muggles Beware. LOL

• Edmonton Potter fans prepare for finale

Mike and I weren’t quick enough – the midnight showings were all sold out before we even attempted to purchase so we won’t be tuning in with most HP-crazed fans at the midnight showing tonight… or even tomorrow! The AVX shows are basically all sold out for all the Friday shows too! But I eagerly await for Saturday when we watch the final movie.

• Albertans have a drinking problem

I certainly don’t contribute to that, lol.

• Mutant two-headed snake wows visitors at Ukrainian zoo

Weird that there’s been two two-headed snake stories in a matter of weeks. Two-headed snake invasion on its way?

• [Video]: Massive Sun Explosion: Dark ‘Fireworks’ on the Sun

I wonder what this means.

• Today’s Big Thing: Cute Little Fight

Lol I don’t think this is that funny. I only really understood near the end when they say ‘ YOU ARE BAD ‘

• Man saves enough Canadian Tire cash to buy riding mower

So crazy! Great story on saving. Save, save, save! :)
