whoohoo!

the U.S. men won a bronze medal in curling. this is awesome for two reasons:

1. it's curling
2. bronze medal = a shiny thing

i'm not easily amused at all... *whistles*

oh, language...

i think i found the silliest sentence in the english language. it's a sentence from McCaskill's "The Modern Philosophy of Pleading" (38 A.B.A.J. 123) in which a father and a son are having a heart to heart about how legal pleadings don't have to go into extraordinary detail. the son is talking to the father, confused, thinking that not going into every detail in the pleading will lead to lying. the father replies:

"Son, I fear you have been talking to, or reading some of the drivel of, the intransigent bifurcators."
