announcement: new addition to future cool thing posts

the last cool thing, cool thing 13, had a very exciting bit of engagement in the comment section as loyal readers attempted to solve frank's new blog official word search #1. this got me thinking back to the wikipedia 6-clicks game we played a number of weeks ago, which in turn got me thinking about a fun new idea: cool thing bonus points. 

that's right, you are now playing against your fellow commenters in a battle of wits and series of challenges. special thanks to natalie and bobody for their unequaled energy and competitive spirit inspiring this new community activity. cool thing bonus points will be awarded from this point forward and will be tracked meticulously. how can you win cool thing bonus points? easy: 1. by completing cool thing bonus activities and 2. awarded at my discretion for comments deemed to be particularly cool.

cool thing bonus activity: list the red things you can see from where you are sitting, standing, or lying right now.

good luck!

p.s. the music in cool thing 14 is an original composition by yours truly, truly. I was thinking if I don't make it in the big business world, I might have a bright future in the music industry.
