Noted by our Midwest Bureau:
Here are the winners of this year's Washington Post's Mensa Invitational
which once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter
it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new
definition:
1. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject
financially impotent for an indefinite period of time.
2. Ignoranus: A person who is both stupid and an a__hole.
3. Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you
realize it was your money to start with.
4. Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.
5. Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright
ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer unfortunately, shows little sign of
breaking down in the near future.
Yes, there are more and yes, we will probably get around to posting them as well, but in the meantime, as a bonus, here are the first five entries on a list of strangest book titles of 2009, compiled by Utne Reader and passed on by the Progressive Review's UNDERNEWS:
100 Girls on Cheap Paper
A Tortilla is Like Life
Advances in Potato Chemistry and Technology
Afterthoughts of a Worm Hunter
An Intellectual History of Cannibalism
No word on when the audio versions might be available.

Oh yeah - this one is getting passed around the office. (Except to the boss of course.)
Good stuff.
