Dear Steven

Seagal, I have not thought of you for the past 12 years. Good years those.

Scrabble Rabble!

So you have your doubts as to this scientific proof I mentionned, well that's a good thing. What this society needs more of is a sceptical attitude. Well here goes. It was quite easy for me to find the relevant information, I mean, like I wrote earlier, everyone knows this. Except for you that is. Wait a minute...Have you been playing Scrabble?

No?

Ok, sorry about that. The ravages of Scrabble playing have got to be contained! So back to the statistics. I found an interesting article in Epidemiology and Addiction Quarterly, the highly respected peer-reviewed British journal. The study looks at the reading-abled population of Belgium. The stats are real eye-openers. 1994 was a watershed year for the reading epidemic in Belgium. Numbers are taken from the Institut numérologique belge and cross-referenced with the Commission des chiffres de l'Union Européenne. Essentially this study is bullet-proof.

And you know how we use pigs as test subjects because of their many biological similarities to humans? Well the same applies to Belgians for the population of Québec. This was last established by the Office national des numéros of the Québec government in 2003.

With all that cleared up, let's take a look-see at the stats.

Truly startling! I can only hope we manage to contain this AIDS of the 21st century. So, faithful reader, if you know of any solutions, please do not hesitate to share them with me.

Respectfully yours,

What Is Wrong With The World Today

Well, that about does it. I've had it up to here ' with these corporate f***ers destroying everything I hold dear. As some of you may know, I do volunteer work teaching the 2 R's: Readin' n' 'Riting. I just found out that two of our sponsors are Scrabble and Chapters! I could not contain my disgust at this obvious conflict of interest. They're only giving us books, scrabble boards and money because they want to create more addicts. Reading addicts. That's not even the worst part. It is scientifically proven that reading is a gateway drug. And we all know what readers go on to do: shop at Chapters. Yeah, and you know where this is going, what are they most likely to end up falling into? Buying Scrabble game sets! This leads inevitably to, shudder, Scrabble playing.

Is nothing sacred anymore? Have people forgotten how to give for the sake of giving? When the truth hits the rest of society, will my CV be diminished? I mean, what's the point of doing this volunteering crap if I can't put it on my CV?

Plumbing

Tonight I thought I'd do some bedtime reading on how to repair my leaky faucet. Lying there sleepy-eyed, trying to make sense of all of the diagrams my fix-it-yourself-book had to offer, I came across this little gem. Regardless of the fact that it was 3:30 AM, I jumped out of bed, turned on my computer and scanner, imported the image, and am now uploading it to the blog. I think the humor is self-explanitory. If it isn't, I have officially lost it.
