1 + 1 = 11

I haven't done a single lick of work today. I'm ok with that. Hopefully, I'll still be ok with it tomrrow.

Instead of reading, I spent today amongst the masses, shopping. I now remember why I love to buy online.

Speaking of idiots, this is probably one of the funniest things I read in a long time. And by funny, I mean an incredibly depressing look at the level of mathmatical intelligence we Americans possess.

If you don't want to click the link, it's a transcript of a phone call a guy made to Verizon because they quoted him a rate of .002 CENTS and charged him a rate of .002 DOLLARS. And not a single person he spoke to could grasp the difference.
My favorite part is where the woman basically goes "But there's no such thing as .002 cents! That's not even a whole cent!"
