Today Again

It's with great sadness that I have to again report nothing funny happened today. Nothing really bad happened either. I finished this week's walkthroughs. Great stuff happening. I'm very pleased...or I could use the royal "we"...as in "We are very pleased." Hopefully something funny will happen tomorrow. Actually, now that I'm thinking about it...something funny did happen. But I can't really talk about it. Darryl did something to totally crack me up. And I cracked up at a very inappropriate moment. Damn him! He does that stuff on purpose. I think he does it on purpose to try to distract me. Just when I'm about to give him a list of stuff to do, he says or does something hilarious. Damn him!

I'm reading a new book titled, The Book of General Ignorance, Everything You Think You Know is Wrong. It's a fascinating book. The book explains that many of the facts we learned in school are just plain wrong. For example, we we're all taught in school that cannibals cooked their victims whole in large pots. This is totally bogus! It turns out that the technology to create large water tight pots big enough to hold a whole human being wasn't invented until the late 19th century. Cannibals cut up their victims and roasted, smoked, or salted them. Here's another one. What were Cinderella's slippers made from? Of course we all say "glass." We're all wrong. They were made from squirrel fur. True. Read it on page 233 of the book. It has to do with the French guy who rewrote the ancient Chinese story. He misheard the word vair (squirrel fur) for verre (glass). It's a totally honest mistake!
