My father-in-law gave me a subscription to Time, and I was looking at the current issue a few minutes ago. This was in the Milestones section:
Died: Irving I. Stone, 90, head of American Greetings Corp.; in Beachwood, Ohio. Starting in the family card business at age 5 and taking over billing, sales, and delivery at 9, Stone built the firm into the second largest card company in the U.S.
They must have meant to print those ages as 15 and 19. I just don’t see a 9 year old “taking over” an entire department, no matter how gifted. They wouldn’t have the stamina.
Anyone know anything pro or con?
Remember, I’m pulling for you; we’re all in this together.

Well, fuck me senseless with a shoehorn. Kids these days really aren’t what they used to be! Just don’t show this to my dad. All I need is for him to hold me up to this example, as well!
An infinite number of rednecks in an infinite number of pickup trucks shooting an infinite number of shotguns at an infinite number of road signs will eventually produce all the world’s great works of literature in Braille.
