[Weird thing of the day] Beware of overstuffed sentences

[Aaron Solomon Adelman]

Greetings.

Jewish date:  2 ’Elul 5770 (Parashath Shofeṭim).

Today’s quasi-holidays:  Vinyl Record Day, International Youth Day.

Worthy cause of the day:  “ColorOfChange.org:  FCC: Say NO to Google and Verizon / Demand the FCC do its job and protect the open Internet”.

Today’s news and commentary:

• “How Star Trek artists imagined the iPad... 23 years ago”
• “Congress About To Pass 'The ______Act of____' (These Are The People We Elect?)”:  I really hope this is a hoax.
• “God's Number is 20”:  (Submitted by Barry.)  Someone has proved that it takes no more than 20 turns to solve Rubik’s Cube.
• “Vending Machines Of The Future” and “Smart vending machines in Tokyo train station recognize age, sex”
• “Ancient Cut Marks Reveal Far Earlier Origin of Butchery”
• “Touchscreens open to smudge attacks”:  I cannot make this sort of thing up, though there is some sense to the idea.
• “A Man, A Plan And A Sharpie: 'The Great Typo Hunt'”

Today’s weird thing, suggested by Barry, is “Do You Suffer From One of These Writing Viruses?”, which should give people an idea of ways not to write.  And if you do not like it, see “Jaws Theme Goes Here” and check under “How sharks DON’T attack”.

Enjoy and share the weirdness.

Aaron
