Strange Things: Candy Fortresses and Half-way Statistics

From the "creative people with too much time on their hands" department comes one of the most popular blog posts from the past several days: "What I did Over Christmas Vacation." To wit, a bunch of "Lord of the Rings" fans built a replica of Helm's Deep battle sing candy (Sourpatch Kids, Gummy Bears, lollipops, peppermints, icing etc). No pun intended, but...SWEET!...and rather nerdly.

What about guys?
And one of the week's top news stories -- that more U.S. women are spouse-less than those who are married -- was curious for what it didn't report: the number of men (over time) who are also spouse-less or not. The report noted generally that more men are married than women, but didn't provide comparative historical data for men. Hmmm... WhereItStands at least provides a timeline.
