In the true spirit of this forum, something _completely_ stupid and pointless that I must share:

I was in the art section of a big Borders bookstore the other day, scanning through titles about composition and color theory and whatnot, when I noticed a misplaced book tucked in among all the others. It was titled _Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder_.

I took a moment to reflect upon the implications, then spent the next hour snickering under my breath.

Heh…reminds me of this one time when I was at Hollywood Video. There I was, browsing the horror section, looking for something spine-tingling and sufficiently horrific, when I saw it placed amongst the various Dracula flicks…

Love Story.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

It was still there the next week.

A friend of mine was visiting once and noticed that I had the four-volume set to How Things Work on my bookshelf.

Volume 2 was upside down.

He thought that was pretty darn poetic.
