Something funny

Whilst driving home from work tonight, I witnessed something unusual. The Village of Lombard, where my job is located, has just updated some of the traffic signals to include the little countdown thing to warn walkers of their impending doom. Anyway, I'm not sure if Lombard had defective ones or if the person installing it was plucked straight from a bar stool. For whatever reason, the countdowns were actually on different times (i.e. - 12 on the left side of the street, 10 on the right). Which is rather stupid because the light changes both ways at the same time. I guess the installer looked at it and said "eh, who gives a !@#$" and proceeded directly back down the street to McGill's for a pint.

The other funny thing that happened today (courtesy of my co-worker Jackie) is that a sculpture of Mrs. Britney Spears appeared in Brooklyn today. She is evidently sitting on bear-skinned rug, giving birth to her child. The really horrible thing about all of this is that someone from the pro-life camp claimed that Mrs. Spears was an inspiration to people everywhere for her having and raising her child. Uhhh, what??? Is she supposed to be teaching kids that it's ok to get pregnant, so long as you have the kid? What type of crap is that? I guess this is today's sign of the apocalypse.
