Are human beings really that lame?

I guess I missed the fact that I didn’t get any felicitations on my birthday this year (perhaps the fact that I have attained 40 years of excellence had something to do with it), but it never dawned on me that the world birthday web was defunct.

The time-wasters of the world — spammers, direct marketers, and telephone solicitors — have claimed another victim. Remember the B Ark from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy? That’s where they’ll be seated.
