Lots of April Fool’s jokes across the Internet today as usual. One of the funniest is that /r/radiohead has temporarily changed their sub-reddit to be like /r/coldplay, playing up the “rivalry” between fans of these two well-known UK bands with Radiohead seen as groundbreaking and original while Coldplay is seen by many as mainstream, unoriginal (copying […]
Perhaps my favourite thing about the major Christian holidays is it spurs atheists and other non-believers to great heights of humour…
Finding the A&W at the Cornwall Centre food court closed for renovations tonight, a co-worker suggested that we should “nationalize the fast food industry.” I helped a visually impaired patron mix up a protein shake the other day.
