Flotsam and Jetsam

Half-posts, ramblings, and various miscellany that I found underneath my couch. Beware of the dust-bunnies:

The most useless bus stop in the City of Pittsburgh, is the CMU outbound stop between Morewood and Beeler... ya know, the one that's 50 ft away from the other stop outbound from between Morewood and Beeler.

Schadenfreude - n. Pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others. Those Germans have a word for everything.

It is, in fact, cold enough for me.

Did someone have a private ticker-tape parade at Forbes & Ross today?

The next post will make more sense, I swear. Perhaps I'll use paragraphs.
