    I'll be there with a valet jacket on, doing a little car shopping.


    I'd like to live on O Street because it sounds a little dirty. I've had some ex-boyfriends who I can guess would never be able to find it.

    Since Wikipedia is basically the world's longest term paper, it makes sense that it should be run as well as your average student government.

    Reading this post is like watching a Fox News segment about the New York Times. No idea where all the satisfied vitriol is coming from, nor am I sure I've learned anything by the end of it.

    @At The Ivar: Sure it does. Ours. Although, come to think of it, a number of Canadians do seem to head south for that sort of things, so i suppose an argument could be made that we have theirs. If that's true, we sure haven't taken very good care of it.

    @Xylo: I'm in California, and i understand from linguists that California English (ignoring valley girls and surfer boys and any ESLers) is, as you say, without discernible accent. Californication, baby (and i don't mean David Duchovney). We will add your distinctiveness to our own, and then package it and sell it back to you.

    Spin, spin, spin...


    Wikipedia are claiming to have reached their $6 million goal in their fund drive. However, even though the campaign only began in November, they're using 1 July 08 as the start of the campaign - in other words, they're having to include old donations.


    Worse, they're also including $2 million pounds of 'major gifts and foundation support'. 'Foundation support' is obviously something different from gifts, but if its not gifts, then doesn't that mean it has to be paid back?!
