cellioA few links that have been accumulating:
The last survivor
of the Christmas 1914 truce has died (from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
madfilkentist).
If you don't know the story of this truce, follow the link.
John McCutcheon captured its essence in the song "Christmas in the
Trenches", one of my favorites.
Fannish
speech patterns (from ommkarja).
How to outsmart automated phone systems
(from dyanearden). Most of these I knew (and have used), but
the warning about cell phones is new to me. And when I get annoyed with
these systems I almost always try "0" and "#"; at worst it repeats the
current menu.
