February 29 only happens every four years, so I have decided that this will be the official day off from talking about ART on the Unreal Nature blog. Mark your calendar for four years from today for you next break.
For you reading pleasure on this holiday, I highly recommend the blog “Stuff White People Like“. It’s good, it’s funny, and it gets a huge amount of response. Don’t miss the comments.
Also, today’s posting on the Freakonomics blog is pretty good. They did a survey asking people to vote on the “New Six Word Motto for the U.S.” The results were, in order:
Our Worst Critics Prefer to Stay (194 votes)
Caution! Experiment in Progress Since 1776 (134)
The Most Gentle Empire So Far (64) votes
You Should See the Other Guy (38)
Just Like Canada, With Better Bacon (18)
You Canadians will not be surprised to note that out of 34 comments (as of this moment early on Friday morning), fourteen are arguments about the Canada motto (last in the voting) — partially inflamed by an early comment adding beer to the mix:
“Perhaps then it should have read, “Like Canada, but with better beer.”
Tomorrow, I’ll be back on topic.
