This spammer accidentally created a high moment of comedy for me.

Canada Post is screwing with me. Yesterday, tried to buy stamps online, and it just gave me a blank page for payment options. Today, trying to look up stamp costs for over 30g international, and they've updated their page so instead of a simple answer I'm prompted to download a 56 page PDF.

A belief held by more than ten people turns into poison.

This was in a letter from my Japanese pen pal. He knows I like faces.

The Turkish for shoe is ayakkabı. It is made of the words "ayak" (foot) and "kap" (container or cover). It's also a really weird word: ayakkabı, ayakkabı, ayakkabı.

How can we sell these black tomatoes? I know! On the package, show a picture of a burned and smoking anus.

"Dad, I don't see any value in anything I've ever done and I don't see any value in anything I could possibly ever do. Now I think we've exhausted the topic. How about some TV." -- Charles Webb, The Graduate, a novel more and more relevant as time goes on.

Young woman at Bridgehead: “Ew, I wanted an iced tea, and this is just tea with ice!” (A story told to me by my wife.)

When Republicans say that Obama (and/or Biden) was the worst and most divisive presidents ever, I keep thinking, "Wait until they hear about this Trump guy."
