And while you’re here, sign up at the 542542 Facebook fan page. I’m posting updates about what’s going on with 542542, and we’ll be offering special promos there too. You can also follow us on our kgb542542 Twitter page to get the kgb Question of the Day and other interesting stuff from our Special Agents.

One of the many things I love about the kgb 542542 service is that it is based on collaboration and participation. On one side, we have customers asking us all kinds of interesting, incisive, often funny, sometimes odd questions about everything under the sun. On the other side we have talented kgb Special Agents finding accurate answers quickly for all of these questions, with the goal of always giving just a little more than you asked for.

For the past few weeks we’ve been getting lots of questions about Swine Flu. Not surprising given the general and widespread concern about the spread of this virulent strain. So we’ll be using this space to talk about other trends, styles, topics that our customers really want to know more about.

But I’m also interested in what you all would like to use this blog to discuss. Let me know. Comments here are encouraged. Thanks.

More details:

The medical term for sleepwalking is “somnambulism.”  It is known as a parasomnia, which is an undesirable event that occurs while sleeping. 

Sleepwalking happens when folks get up out of bed and start walking around while they are still asleep.  Sometimes sleepwalkers ease into the behavior by sitting on the bed and looking confused.  Others make a clean exit by bolting from the bed and walking or running away.  They may be trying to escape from some threat that they imagined or dreamed.  

Most of the time, sleepwalking behavior is strange or inappropriate.  Sleepwalkers might move furniture around or climb out a window.  It can be hard to wake a sleep walker up and sometimes they can become violent during the episode.  They may have no memory of the event at all or remember every detail clearly.  

Sleepwalking is more common in children, and only about 4% of adults have the disorder.  Children who sleepwalk tend to naturally lose the problem when they become teens. When sleepwalking becomes troublesome, those affected are advised to keep a sleep diary for a two-week period to share with a physician.  

Sleepwalking is often affected by other sleep problems such as sleep apnea, for which treatment is available.

Marshmallows date back to ancient Egypt, originally honey-based and sweet flavored, thickened with sap from the root of the Marsh-Mallow plant (althea officinalis).

More details:

Marsh-Mallow grows in salt marshes and on banks near large bodies of water. It is common in the eastern United States. Until the mid 1800’s, marshmallow candy was made using the sap of the Marsh-Mallow plant. Gelatin replaces the sap in the modern recipes.

Today’s marshmallows are a mixture of corn syrup or sugar, gelatin, gum arabic and flavoring.

On Sunday the kgb team were originally going to make their way to Tampa. However, MTV Spring Break-Panama-style has been rockin it since we arrived. It was too hard to walk away. All Stanky Legs were required to jive for one more week. Panama or bust, baby!

The kgb hut in the MTV village officially opened yesterday and we had an interesting assortment of Spring Breakers agree to answer three questions for the chance to win not $100, not $200, not even $500 but $542 dollars!!! Why $542 bucks? Text 542 542….you got it now don’t you? Winners are announced every day at 4pm on the MTV stage. And one inebriated college kid can go home a little bit less in debt than when they arrived.

So after a full day of kgb t-shirts flying off the stage out of the hands of agents and into the mosh pit of men and man killers, rockin the beach with bottle openers and the victory laps around town in the kgb squad cars we called what most know as the “day of rest” a true ALL NIGHTER.
