I like TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) so much that I often say the following:
If I were introduced to TED by someone, I would have been indebted to that person through out my life.

Halloween

Long ago, I used to play in a college playing ground with other kids on weekends. All the rooms of the college were always locked. But, we knew of a window that was overlooked all the time. We would sneak by that room to look through the window in excitement at the preserved animal bodies and in particular, a human skeleton that hangs on a wall. I don't know if it was real skeleton, but we were so fascinated by it since it was the only one, real or fake, we had ever seen.

Now I see fake skeletons everywhere in US during Halloween time. No excitement any more :)
