Things I Didn't Know I Needed to Know- Featured AC Articles

Lisa Mason
One thing that never ceases to amaze me about Associated Content is the wealth of information available. It's the first place I go when I'm looking for information on a topic and sometimes through my connections on AC, I discover things I didn't know I needed to know.

For example, I've never been on an Amtrak but thanks to Michael R. Lundgren, I have A Guide to Riding the Train that preps me fully for this adventure should I ever have the opportunity.

And thanks to good friend, Cassandra James, I have learned the Best Places to Take Photographs in Bangkok, Thailand. Thailand is known for its exotic beauty and who knows that better than British-American writer, Cassandra James? I hope to one day have the opportunity to visit Bangkok and try out all of her photo-taking tips.

Sean Easley'sWhy is My Poop Green? is another perfect example of things I didn't know I needed to know. Bowel movements aren't something most of us talk about on a regular basis but when you need to know, it helps to know where to go for info.

I've never played cricket and I must admit I've never had a desire to play cricket. But I love sports and I'm a fun gal so if I were ever invited, I know I need to read Kip Willington'sRules to the Game of Cricket so I know what I'm doing.

Associated Content is full of things I didn't know I needed to know. For example, Yan Man tells us about the Top 5 Overlooked Players in the NBA. Did you know that motorcycles from "Indiana Jones" are at Disney World's Hollywood Studios? Victor Medina even gives us pics!

Have you ever let the cat out of the bag? Wonder where these expressions come from in the first place? Linda Ann Nickerson gives us the lowdown on this and other idioms commonly used in daily expression. Jan Corn tells us What Does it Take to Become the World's Fattest Woman and Amanda Brandenberg tells me How to Get a Fishing License in Alaska.

That's right, AC is full of things I didn't know I needed to know and the more I search and read, the more I want to know. Is this a true sign of how Associated Content is the "People's Media Company"? What about you? Have you discovered interesting articles or slideshows with information you never knew you needed to know?

Have you published something that I might want to know but don't know it yet? Feel free to drop a link here in the comment box so I can further expand my knowledge!

    This was a fun article!
    I love Austin want to move there in the winters and need personal assistant work. Don't suppose you know of anyone needing a personal assistant? I believe in serendipity. I think you would like the book SPIRITUAL SERENDIPITY: Cultivating and Celebrating the Art of the Unexpected. You never know. Hope this is information you need to know.
