Didn't these people read Calvin and Hobbes? Bill Watterson used at least two of those in poems.

"Although you may find it slightly macabre / we prefer your extinction to the loss of our job."

"Tigers are great / the e-pit-o-me..." Calvin doesn't quite finish the poem there, but the word is hyphenated so you know where the syllables are, and he also ends up with "dignity" so you know what it rhymes with.

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.

...and the Neatorama comments apparently won't do o-double-acute-accent. "Paul Erdos", if we can't do diacritical marks.

I try not to have a web presence -- I have an unusual name, so I was elated when someone else with my name started playing college football, which covered up almost all the results about me -- but Kevin Bacon's number is 7 ("kevin b"), as is Paul Erd?s' ("paul er").

Additional pylons: You must construct them.

Good ol' Bilbo Baaaaaaggins.

Nice if it is real, and she is indeed cute, but I'm pretty sure this is fake.

"Myth! Myth!"

Yeth?

Speaking of Charles, I saw a link the other day to a group advocating the restoration of the Austrian monarchy, centering around Charles's son Otto (who is currently 97 years old). They have a Facebook page.

That's funny, because I think the opposite is happening: time has definitely started speeding up. I think it started right around the time I turned 17, because every year since then has gone by faster than the one before.

"I fully support the cloning of Ana Lilia it would be awesome"

Your ideas intrigue me and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

"I looked up vetiver for all of you"

You should listen to more R.E.M. Vetiver is prominently mentioned in "Find the River" off of _Automatic for the People_, along with bergamot.

Not relevant to Bruce, but that's ok.
