I work at an interactive advertising agency, and we recently relaunched our website. Part of the site included what we called “inspirational images.” One such image was of the Large Hadron Collider.
A day before the launch, Dave found a typo where the “r” and the “d” were transposed in the word “Hadron.” And there was much giggling.

John Hodgman, on The Daily Show, promoting his new book. It’s fascinating.
As random as my sense of humor is — and I think we can all agree that it can be a bit scattered at times — Hodgman doesn’t do it for me. Oh, he’s genius as PC in the Apple ads. But most of his bits on The Daily Show don’t really resonate. Chuckle, sure. Laugh out loud? Not so much.

Maybe it is just early and I’m feeling like a maverick, but the way I see it, there are two types of people: people who take sugar in their coffee, and people who are pro-America.

At dinner tonight, my wife and I were discussing the coming armageddon. I was saying we should invest our assets in seeds, livestock, guns and ammunition. She suggested that we should also buy a book on parenting since the total breakdown of society would likely mean an absence of cheap and affordable birth control.
To me, a bunch of little kids running around the homestead sounds a lot like free labor. They have small hands, and they’re not smart or large enough to back-talk. I suggested we name our firstborn “Number Eight,” so that we could keep him in line by talking about the mistakes of the first seven, as well as reminisce about how delicious they tasted.

I was IM’ing with a subcontractor in India (insert your howls of derision here), and she was telling me she’s reading a book about JRD Tata. He’s the Indian version of Rockefeller, only he’s known as being very honest and ethical.
