Things I Have Learned Recently

1. 90% of the Canadian population lives within 320 kilometers of the US border. They are all ninjas.

2. Why do witches ride broomsticks? Medieval witches used hallucinogenic herbs and ointments in their rites; the hallucinogens were absorbed through the skin. They would rub these ointments on a broomstick and straddle it so they could absorb the compounds through their vulvas, which, with their armpits, were the optimal parts of the body for it.

3. Guinness is not a drink; it is a snack.

4. No number larger than 12 ought to exist. If you see one, drop your chalk and back away slowly. Whatever you're trying to do is more trouble than it is worth.

5. At the beginning of the year, the loonie, or 'Canadian dollar', was valued at 63.40 cents US. The US economy, however, is so shitcanned that the loonie was trading at over 74 cents US just a week ago.

6. There is a Finnish band called The Cybermen. Their website includes a small Doctor Who-related graphic of a Servo Robot.

7. I am a huge dork.

8. There was apparently also a punk band of the late 70s called The Cybermen.

9. Dan Savage will name a sex act after Rick Santorum.

10. Numbered lists get dull after a while.
