Kind of cutsey, but anything inserted into a crack, crevasse or fold is funny. And functional.

People are lately focused on the fate of libraries & aspects of physical book lending with the introduction of a generation of new electronic reading devices - Kindle, Sony Reader, iPhone, etc.
But we forgot about those who sell books by the yard, for people who need to look like they like books….
Gotta love how easy it can be sometimes to separate the fools from their money. I wonder if they sell any trapdoor bookcases as well.

They want you dead, or in their lie… There’s only one thing a man can do - find something that’s his, and make an island for himself.

“Helen Leach, an anthropologist at the University of Otago in New Zealand, has traced unflattering remarks about cilantro flavor and the bug etymology — not endorsed by modern dictionaries — back to English garden books and French farming books from around 1600, when medieval dishes had fallen out of fashion. She suggests that cilantro was disparaged as part of a general effort to define the new European table against the flavors of the old.”
So long as it’s not an overwhelming amount, I have no complaints. I get why people don’t like it, but the vocal hatred can sometimes be a bit much. It’s an herb!
