24 ’Elul 5768: National Punctuation Day/World Day Against Software Patents

Greetings.

Relevant to one of today’s quasi-holidays: Stop software patents.

Worthy causes of the day: “Save Downpayment Assistance Programs” and “Tell the EPA to Stand Strong on the Carbofuran Ban!”

Today’s news and commentary:

• “News Watch”
  
• “Fake popup study sadly confirms most users are idiots” (I did not make up this title. I would not make up this title. Very scary.)
  
• “The fungible candidate”
  
• The K Chronicles 2008-09-23

Today’s weird thing is the Interrobang (‽). I know, some of you out there are saying, “Aaron chose a punctuation mark for the weird thing of the day‽ Is he completely insane‽” But it is National Punctuation Day, and the interrobang is probably the most famous weird punctuation mark, barring emoticons. Enjoy and share the weirdness.
