What Is This?

Obviously, it's a new blog. It's not that we believed the world needed another one (since Technorati claims to index 7,000,000 blogs as of today), but it grew out of an idea sparked by a Jeopardy! question about the Brothers Grimm (thanks to the J! Archive for an excellent searchable database of recent shows). My idea was that my brother and I could start a blog where the posts play off one another and our thoughts encourage the other one to write. My brother is an excellent writer, and it is my hope that we can use this blog to improve our skills, to inform, to entertain, and to provoke thought.
