A guy on EverQuest the other noght was lamenting how scared he was toopen his mail, I replied: “yeah, every time I get mail, I lick it all over, no luck so far…just a nasty papercut that didnt even get infected!”
I maintain, as I have from the start, Richard Gere, or Julia Roberts is behind the anthraxing of the enquirer, and you JUST KNOW the celebrities are laughing inside at the irony of it all.
Back later, I have to go mail some cornstarch to my second grade teacher.

Both “anthrax” and “anthracite” derive from the Greek word anthrax, meaning “coal”. In the former case it refers to the signs of the disease visible on the skin. In French it is called charbon, “coal.”

Letterman “We’re learning new things about Osama bin Laden. Turns out he started his career in the mailroom”.
The local (Raleigh-Durham) TV stations also cover Fayetteville, NC, so they did follow-up on Anthrax Street.
It turns out a former employee of the company that requested the name was a fan of the band, and, there being some streets with no names as yet, named it after them.
Does that mean they’ll have to change it to “Basket of Cuddly Puppies Street”?
