Links!

An old nemesis of mine, Edible Arrangements, has been thoroughly mocked in The Onion:
According to experts, the Connecticut-based franchise, which arranges skewered pieces of fruit into displays vaguely resembling floral bouquets, has defied all modern economic models, expanding continuously for the past decade despite its complete lack of any discernible consumer appeal.


I feel pleasantly vindicated. Thanks to Jeff for the link.

In totally unrelated news, an Australian sniffer dog was given a military award for bravery. Awwwww.

Hey! The story about the dog refers to a donkey getting the medal before. That was Simpson'sdonkey! I only learned about that one a year or two ago. Interestingly, none of the links I found about it mention that the donkey got an award.

You know the Edible Arrangements by your old apartment is gone, right? I think of you every time I drive by its former spot....
