Dave Barry’s column from yesterday (which is actually from 1999) is pretty freakin’ funny.

In what I’m hoping will become a weekly feature right along with Free Music Monday, I’ve decided that every Sunday I need to bring you some piece of news from the preceding week (although it would be much cooler if I could bring you news from the upcoming week — I’ll get to working on [...]
