A rather lame attempt...
...to create a new piece of Internet lore, and the swift debunking of it.
Not everyone
who gets hit by a drunk driver dies. A very powerful ad.

Parze pleedon me
In the 1930s and 1940s, F. Chase Taylor – under his pseudonym of Colonel Stoopnagle – produced dozens of spoonerism fairytales which appeared.

Prinderella and the Cince,The Pea Little Thrigs and Beeping Sleauty
Judge called upon to use Wisdom of Solomon in a very literal way.

Friday fiction frolic:
The School by Donald Barthelme. A short, short story --dark, but funny, one of his best. Or if you're a music fan, another one: The King of Jazz which has the best lyrical description of music i've ever read.
It's been fun, Doc.
Doctor Fun, aka David Farley, set out in 1993 to post 10 years' worth of daily comics. He completed that task earlier this week (it took 13 years).

Think (About Paying Your Workers) Differently.
Claudia Joseph's article from the UK's Mail has forced Apple to "look into" allegations of wretched worker conditions.
Last year Apple achieved a record billion-dollar profit.... "We have to work too hard and I am always tired. It's like being in the army. They make us stand still for hours. If we move, we are punished by being made to stand still for longer." ... Labor costs in the Chinese factories we traced are ... Pounds 4.20 ($7.74) per iPod.... In Britain they sell for between Pounds 109 ($201) and Pounds 179 ($331).
