Some stuff I was reading yesterday before a bee stung my ring finger and made my hand hurt really bad:
Michael Marshall tells us where summer's gone:
As you may have heard, England lost this year's summer in a late-night game of poker. Got over-excited by a pair of kings and lost out to Paraguay, who was holding a straight flush the whole time. Paraguay didn't really need the extra summer and so part-exchanged it for some wrought iron yard furniture, which is admittedly pretty classy but means the denizens of London have spent several months staring out at relentless drizzle.
Russian mayor bans "I don't know" and all forms thereof, including, presumably, What Do I Know?:
The mayor of a Siberian oil town has ordered his bureaucrats to stop using expressions such as "I don't know" and "I can't." Or look for another job.
Alexander Kuzmin, the 33-year-old mayor of Megion, has banned these and 25 other phrases as a way to make his administration more efficient, his spokeswoman said Tuesday.
I would like to ban bees. Especially in the shower.
