sicolab.org [staten island collaboration]

In case you didn't read about my outrage on facebook today, I've decided to compile a list of 100 facts about staten island to be put in a tri-fold brochure and subsequent website.

This idea was spawned after a recent transplant from Brooklyn asked me "What is Shaolin?" then asked "Wu Tang is from SI?"

This project is called:
Staten Island: The Shit You Need to Know
100 important things to know if you plan on living, working, or being in Shaolin.

Some of you guys have already given me a bunch of great ideas on Facebook. I've decided to filter these out to 100 facts (for brochure reading) and going into more detail for some of the facts. The website will house more information for all the facts.

I currently have 7 sections:
1. The People
2. The Past
3. The Present
4. Culture
5. Dining
6. Nightlife
7. Recreation
8. Misconceptions

I am obviously open to re-categorize need be.

I am asking for your help because I know that I can make a list, but it wont be comprehensive without you.

What I'm asking for:
Facts, Trivia, Tidbits about Staten Island. Don't worry about going into too much detail, that's my job. I plan on listing the 100 facts and providing detail to the most "reader friendly" ones. Again, the website will have details for all facts.

So, if you have any facts to offer, please email them to me! Obviously all submissions will be rightfully credited.
