I found this in an Introductory Psychology text. For anyone who can't make out the words, the caption starts out, "In ancient times, people actually had to write or type their first, second, and sometimes third drafts on real paper."
Shouldn't there be some sort of indication that "this is hyperbole"? Even quotation marks around the word "ancient" would have helped. :p
We saw this contraption yesterday in a playground we passed while out for a walk. I was amused. What was it, a Mobius climber? When we passed it again on our way back to the car, I decided I just had to take a picture of it.
Upon closer examination, I noticed that the thing had a sticker on it. It read "Infinity Climbers."
"...and, as your punishment for the many unspeakable acts you have committed (which we will not name, because that would make them "speakable"), you are hereby condemned to spend all eternity climbing on this...um...whatever this thing is!"
So, I saw this sign at a local park today, and it caught my attention. True, every park I've ever visited has had some sign near the entrance, notifying visitors that the park is only open during daylight hours.
But I'd never seen this particular turn of a phrase before--the park is closed during hours of darkness. That just sounds spooky. No problem--I'll make sure I'm far away from your park when the Hours of Darkness come. Wouldn't want to take a chance of running into Voldemort...
