It’s Valentine’s Day! Or as short fat guys call it, Saturday. Usually I avoid the sappy sentimental trappings of this day, but this year I’ve decided to revel in them. Romance is in the air, people are exchanging symbols of their love, gays are getting married in San Francisco, and I’ve got the Internet to keep me warm. In between IMs to my mail-order Romanian bride, here are some stories I found to tug at your heart strings:• According to Universe Today, the system of Centaurus wants to marry us.
• Bride tired of groom. Marries wedding guest instead.
• Mattel ruins Valentine’s Day by announcing Ken & Barbie split. Their 43-year-long inability to achieve orgasm cited as main reason for break-up.
• In the US we give flowers. In China, they celebrate the day by hiring private investigators to learn if partners are having extramarital affairs.
• SpongeBob Valentine has mysterious power to cause people into confusing the terms printing error and racial slur.
• Israeli counter-terrorism technology leads to creation of a “Love Detector”. Those counter-terrorist softies!
P.S.: And, yes, you’re right. You can see right through me. The only reason I’m celebrating Valentine’s Day this year is so I can bring chocolate into the house.
P.P.S.: While looking for an image of chocolate, I found this page of very nice desktop wallpapers.
