Happy Saturday, world! Today, as we sip our morning coffee (or tea, or whatever your caffeinated beverage of choice is), let’s take a moment to appreciate the absurdity of existence.

Now for a random thought to spice up your day: I’ve noticed that the more complicated technology gets, the simpler our problems become. We used to worry about world hunger and nuclear war. Now, we’re stressed about our Wi-Fi connection. Progress, I guess?!
Did you know that there’s a specific phobia for the fear of long words? It’s called Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. Try saying that ten times fast.
Well, that’s all for now, folks. Go out there and make the most of your Saturday. Remember, laughter is the best medicine, and Wi-Fi is the best friend..
