Amusing tidbit #1:
At the church this morning, we had a special, er, substitute guest priest who was French. My favorite bit was when he said "Lord 'ave mercy. Christ 'ave mercy. Lord 'ave mercy." (yeah, sure Mass is redundant, but at least I got to hear him say " 'ave" three times in a row!)

Amusing tidbit #2:
I ran DupDetector on my Movies Pictures folder last night, and was greatly entertained by the fact that the following two pictures were found to be identical, with 95% confidence, based on a euclidean color-matching algorithm of some sort:

Amusing tidbit #3:
From Good Omens, by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman: "This third voice was rather more prim than the first two. The owner of a voice like that would be the sort of person who, before making a plastic model kit, would not only separate and count all the parts before commencing, as per the instructions, but also paint the bits that needed painting first and leave them to dry properly prior to construction. All that separated this voice from chartered accountancy was a matter of time."

At first, I was like, "HEY!" But then after that I realized that they weren't actually wrong about any of that... :P Hmm.
