Quote of the day (heard from Dani): Santa's helpers are subordinate clauses.

Applying animal-training techniques to one's spouse -- must investigate this. :-) (From shalmestere.) Dang; failed to cache it before they took it down. Anyone recognize it and have a copy?

This year's Bulwer-Lytton contest (for the worst opening line of a novel).

New vocabulary (PDF), from a coworker. My favorite is: Karmageddon: It's like, when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it's like, a serious bummer. I also like: Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.

The Bulwer-Lytton link seems to be wrong at the moment.

Whoops, thanks. (The danger of previously-visited links is that they all look the same. :-) ) Fixed now.

I think that first one might be the same or similar article from the NYT: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/25/fashion/25love.html?ex=1153281600&en=893b698da201a420&ei=5070
