I feel a song coming on
Little zombies on the hillside
Little zombies eating human brains
Little zombies on the hillside
Little zombies all the same
There’s a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they’re all busy eating human brains
And they all look just the same.
based on this classic, of course
Atlas mooched
Using a GPS logger—that is to say, using a satellite network that is funded by American taxpayers and available free of charge to everyone all over the world—some chap named Nick Newcomen has created an advertisement for Ayn Rand’s books.
Is there a store in the Boston area that services irony meters? I think mine needs to be recalibrated.
This is the season when Jews should reflect on traditional words of wisdom...

A literary note
I hear they’re coming out with a new series of children’s books about a Pope who solves mysteries in his spare time.
The main character’s nickname is “Encyclical Brown”.
Priceless
We got a brochure in the mail for a Chinese auction sponsored by Oorah. Two of the slots in the auction caught my eye:
- Eretz Yisroel—round-trip airfare to Israel, seven-night hotel stay for two, and a one-week car rental.
- Priceless Bracha—round-trip airfare to Israel, seven-night hotel stay for two, and a blessing from a Gadol.
I must therefore conclude that a Gadol’s blessing has a market value equivalent to a one-week Israeli car rental. Who knew?
A timely observation
Ladies and gentlemen, Eric Naggum:
We can only be glad there is no daylight loan time, or we would face decades of too much daylight, only to be faced with a few years of total darkness to make up for it.
The jig is up
Now that members of the Texas and Georgia state legislatures [PDF] have caught on, I suppose there’s no point in denying it any more. Yes, indeed, modern cosmologists and evolutionary scientists are blindly and unscientifically following kabbalistic teachings that the world is billions of years old. Likewise, we crafty Pharisees are responsible for hiding anti-Biblical kabbalistic doctrines in the guise of Copernicus’s theory of heliocentrism and, later, Einstein’s theory of relativity. It’s all true! They found us out!
Also, that stuff about the banks? They got us dead to rights. Next time your mortgage payment comes due, just make the check out to me and send it over here; you’ll get faster service that way.
The graphic designer's revenge
How did the American Library Association get away with using the original Mac OS menu font on their Bill Gates poster?
I didn't know those were among the symptoms
I just got a spam email with the subject line “Bird flu—the ‘New Oil & Gas’ for investors”.
