I Do Not Weigh Less Than A Duck

Inexplicably, I felt like posting here, but not to say anything noteworthy. This morning, already quite late for work, I was putting in one of my contacts when it flew off my finger. I spent the next twenty1 minutes hunting for it on the ground with a flashlight, before finding it on the toilet seat. If I had another one for that eye, I wouldn't have spent twenty minutes looking, so yeah, I cleaned that bastard off and put it in my eye. It's amazing that any part of my body still works, really.

Tomorrow morning, we're getting up early and floating down some river - no, I don't know which one, but I'm not driving there or back, and it probably only goes one direction once you're on it. I have 242 cans of Tecate and a fancy new hat.

1 On Writing Out Numerals: the accepted standard, so I am given to understand, is to write out the numbers one through ten, and use numerals for numbers 11 to 99,9993. I chose to write out twenty, because I am twice as awesome.

2 C'mon, I gotta draw the line somewhere, I'm not made of time.

3 The largest number currently known to man

4 Isn't it fun going through and reading all the footnotes?

5 The famous recursive footnote5

Yeah, I totally ripped off those last two.
