Thoughtless for the Day

OK, let's start with the biggest news to hit Philly since since it was discovered that Betsy Ross was really a dude: Our Year of Evolution kicked off on Saturday! I don't think I could possibly be prouder of my hometown right now (although I might be even prouder when Pat Robertson issues a fatwa on Philly). Although I started writing letters a year or two ago asking (begging) for an event like this, I can't take the credit. I will, however, do my best to celebrate by posting as many evolution-specific posts as possible.

Speaking of pride, tomorrow should be the day when the good folks at hat industrie(s) post pictures of RATYHTL's tiny plastic Roman army. Stay tuned for details.

Finally, CNN.com has swiped a page from the Weekly World News' playbook and started selling t-shirts featuring headlines from the site. This would be a great idea, if CNN would offer up t-shirts featuring all of their headlines, and not just the "cute" ones.

Seriously, which would you rather own, a t-shirt that reads "Prince drops copter in gal pal's yard" of one that proclaims "Dad mistakes young son for prey, shoots"?

No reports yet as to whether or not Fox News plans to sell "Islamic Schools Trick African Boys Into Begging" and "'Part of God's Plan': U.S. Pastor Given More Than 3 Years in Prison for Bringing Rifle Shells Into Russia" t-shirts.
