Thinking Ahead!
A little while back, I started to fill out an entry for WinMoolah.com, yet another of these take-survey-win-prizes-though-probably-not sites. This is as far as I got, however:
Here's what brought me up short: In the Date of Birth portion of the registration, the options for Year included 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013.
That's right: They are signing up people who will be born in the future!
I'm all in favor of planning ahead, but no. I closed out at this point. But not before taking a snapshot of it for posterity.

Maybe "Accu" Refers to Something Else
This has been on the iMac for a couple of weeks now. It's a screen shot from AccuWeather.com, which indicated a temperature of 64 degrees. Not bad for November 3, in South Dakota...but not nearly as good as the 71 degrees indicated on the toolbar in the lower-right corner, which is provided by...um, well, AccuWeather.com. Whom do you trust? AccuWeather.com or AccuWeather.com? Or none of the above?
(At the moment, AccuWeather agrees with itself that it's 37 degrees.)
