Today's XKCD

Aaaaaugh! AAaaaaugh! AAAAUGH!






My mind would totally do this.

Actually, last night I dreamt that my realtor was trying to sell me a house that hadn't been built yet.

In Nicaragua.

And her only warning was that it's colder there than it is in Mississippi.*

*I'm fairly certain this isn't true.

FOR SOME RIDICULOUS REASON--

--To which, however, I've no desire to be disloyal
Some person in authority -- I don't know who -- very likely the Astronomer Royal
Has decided that, although for such a beastly month as February
Twenty-eight days, as a rule, are plenty,
One year in every four, his days shall be reckoned as nine and twenty.
Through some singular coincidence -- I shouldn't be surprised if it were owing to the
Agency of an ill-natured fairy --
YOU are the victim of this clumsy arrangement, having been born in leap year
On the twenty-ninth of February;
And so, by a simple arithmetical process, you will easily discover
That though you've lived twenty-one years*, yet, if we go by birthdays
You're only five* and a little bit over!


Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ho-ho-ho-ho! Happy birthday, alliath!


*Figure does not reflect actual age of birthday-ee. It is, however, loyal to Gilbert & Sullivan.
