Scriviner.net has an interesting article about taxes and your phone company. Any article that starts with an error about how long ago the Spanish American war took place is a little worrisome, but I love watching badly written law becoming irrelevant.
Stefan Geens has a great article taking a simple question and exploring the math required to answer it. And I love his format, and his commenters. Why don’t I get great comments like his?
“Any article that starts with an error about how long ago the Spanish American war took place is a little worrisome…”

“… enacted as a temporary measure two centuries back to help finance the Spanish-American war …”
1898 = 19th century, 2004 = 21st century, two centuries difference by my count … though I admit ’twas a bit of a rhetorical flourish.
Thanks for the mention!
Well, fair enough! If you can’t flourish a little rhetoric now and then, the terrorists have surely won.
