Who’da thunk it? From 15 Quick Facts About All Things Worth Knowing by Andrea Meno, msm.com:

Yesterday I dreamed of heavy snow, this morning terrorism. If there are terrorists here, what are they waiting for? Certainly not motivation. How I hope the mention of cells were just a political scare tactic.

Headline from nypost.com: “Masturbate more to lower your risk of cancer, urges new health campaign.” No comment.

When choosing gift options from survey sites, I pick an Amazon GC or paypal payout. One site offers “Plant 1 tree in Madagascar” and “Remove 100 g of plastic from the oceans.” Who in the world would choose those? Takes all kinds to make a world.

Payback. From Today I learned: 26 Interesting and Weird Facts to Satisfy Your Curiosity by Asli Akalin, msm.com: “…after a local article highlighted the lavish lifestyle of Alan Ralsky in 2003 (known as the “spam king” for sending millions of bulk email solicitations), critics found his physical address & signed him up for so much junk mail that, at the peak, hundreds of pounds of it were delivered each day.” Yay!

“Ripley!” Shades of sci-fi. Headline from foxnews.com: “Workers strap on robot suits to make heavy lifting feel completely weightless.” Photo from Google Images:

Beautiful day at the Anti-Inflation Book Shop. My thanks to The Quiet Man, who bought three comic omnibuses: Doc Savage, Creepy and Thunderbolts. That was it until I was almost fully packed up. A woman came along and purchased Coincidence by Yours Truly, and a gentleman on her heels brought a shopping cart full of Russian titles — and was good enough to follow me all the way to my apartment, where we unloaded them. My thanks to those kind folks. I’ll have plenty to do tomorrow to fill time.
