FearsThe irrational phobia contestants on Worth1000.com visualize fears in what we can only hope are doctored photos.  Be aphraid.  Very aphraid.

Writing Contest! For Real!

Salt reader and object-of-affection Debora Brakarz sent us the following link to a REAL writing contest, put on by the BBC, that has REAL money and prizes. Plus, it looks fun! (You have to write a story including as many newly coined words, taken from a list of new words of the past century, as possible.)

Check it out!

And if you submit a story, let us know.

Thanks, Debora!
