Dumb Ways to Die

The Greek playwright Aeschylus was struck down by the oddest of freak deaths: killed by a falling turtle.
A tortoise had been plucked from the ground by an eagle and carried high into the sky. The eagle apparently mistook Aeschylus's bald head for a rock and dropped the turtle to smash it open upon the rock that was Aeschylus's cranium.

Clear Thinking on a Cloudy Day

Writer Kim Hubbard: "One good think about inflation is that the fellow who forgets his change nowadays doesn't lose half as much as he used to."


An Irish Blessing

May the road rise to meet you.

May the wind be always at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
