This is totally un-Web log related, but just too funny to not share. The following is a piece of an e-mail that our principal received yesterday:

“Dear Ms. Brady,
I discovered that I could receive an accounting of what my son was purchasing for lunch each day. When I received it I was very disappointed to learn that of $200 on his account he spent approx. $17 on Little Debbie cakes, $20 on French Fries, $49 on Soda (Gatorade), $12 on ice cream, $27 on pizza, $10 on pretzels & candy and $57 on lunch. As a result he owes me $143 for his poor choices…”

Sheesh. Now that’s what I call brain food…

This is what it’s going to take for RSS to grow roots. I’m going to have to start a page of nothing but newspaper feeds. (Or maybe someone already has…)
