There's no fool like an April fool

ThinkGeek.com, an online store that sells "stuff for smart masses," put a new item on its site on April 1: Canned Unicorn Meat. They called it "the new white meat." They have now gotten a cease and desist letter from lawyers for the National Pork Board, claiming they are in violation of the Board's "The Other White Meat" trademark. I wonder how much it cost them to have their lawyers write the 12-page missive. April Fools, Pork Board!

Thanks, Joanne.

Happy Solstice!

The sun is so high we're getting direct sunlight on the windows on the northern side of the apartment. It only happens a few hours each year.
