WhAat tHe cRrraAApp?!?!

Ok.  Does the following paragraph (actually, I think this doesn't even count as a paragraph.... it's more like a jumble of letters) make anyone else want to vomit?

Bleeaaarrrrggghhhh!Hack!Cough!Choke!Spit!  


Ok.  I think I'm done dry heaving.  [climbing up on soapbox]  What is up with all the unnecessary repeated letters and random capitalizations nowadays?!?!  Is it supposed to indicate how something is pronounced?  Perhaps which letter gets more emphasis?  Or is it strictly for driving people such as myself absolutely crazy?  I mean, are you TRYING to force me into near convulsions of horrific pain?

You know what?  I think I want to walk away from this situation as quickly as possible before I become permanently disfigured..........

Unusual

Can you spot it? Read the following paragraph to find out...


"This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact nothing is wrong with it. It is highly unusual though, study it and think about it but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching."

So the question is, what is unique about the paragraph?

Sphere o' tears

I've been seeing this a lot lately from a lot of different people—so much so, in fact, that I'm a bit curious as to the reason behind its sudden prevalence. But that's beside the point for the moment.

Please note:

Ball: (n) a sphere; (v) to make something into a spherical shape.
Bawl: (v) to cry profusely.

Therefore, you bawled through the movie. If you say "I balled through the movie," I'm going to have to assume that you either misspelled it or were rolling snickerdoodles the whole time.

And if the latter is the case, where are my cookies?

April . . . something.

Point of interest:

What is the name of this ridiculous holiday?

I personally have always favored "April Fool's Day" (the day belonging to the April Fool).

But after seeing all the facebook posts today (yes, how sad, my apostrophic confidence is being shaken by facebook, of all things), I've started wondering, is it really "April Fools Day" (the day of many April Fools)?

Or might we all be wrong? Might it be "April Fools' Day" (the day belonging to many April Fools)?

Let's ask Google Battle, shall we?

April Fool's Day 8,600,000
April Fools Day 9,300,000
April Fools' Day 9,300,000

Hm. I somehow find those results less than convincing. Because it seems to be unable to differentiate between "Fools" and "Fools'," for one thing. And for another, I somehow doubt that this takes into account the fact that a significant number of people would mis-apostrophize it anyway, no matter which version was correct. Wikipedia favors "April Fools' Day." But we all know Wikipedia's not really a legitimate source, right?

So. Which is it, really? The world may never know.



But I think the more relevant point is that the world, aside from myself, most likely doesn't care.

Happy April first, everyone.
