My grandmother always said that she took after her father in lacking a sense of humor. Now I learn through a distant cousin that said ancestor was born on the first of April 1858. Perhaps that’s not so funny in Sweden.

I saw a poster today that seemed at first glance to say

MARCH FOR
IMAGINARY RIGHTS

The masses have a hard enough time distinguishing between negative rights (not to be harmed) and positive rights (to have something provided); what will they do with a whole other axis?

Wasn’t there a movie in the Eighties whose tagline on the posters was “The most erotic thing in their world was money”?

2006: The Ananova story, if memory serves, was about a Russian newspaper being penalized(?) for a cartoon of two currency symbols (dollar and euro?) going at it doggie-style.
