Swine flu? No, no, swine flew. That's the key to the end of times. The gods, you see, have a sense of humor. Who do you think it was that first coined the phrase 'when pigs fly'? Oh, yes, it was a prophecy. No, I'm not mixing up homonyms. See, here, this drawing? Very clear, pig with wings. And the original texts call out 'porcine flight'. There's no mistaking that. Sure, sure, they have a bit of humor by introducing swine flu to cloud the issue, but it's no virus you should be worried about. No, no, the real trouble lies in the piglet born last week - the one with the little non-functioning wings. It's just the first step, but they're getting there. A little more genetic tinkering... Yeah, they think it's cute, they're doing it just because they can, but it will be the end of us all. As soon as pigs fly...

Type 'Do I have swine flu' into Google and hit the 'I'm feeling lucky' button.

...and one of these days I'm going to have to get a paypal account. As much as I don't want to, it's turning out to be a necessary evil.

For one, I've been thinking about starting up an Etsy shop, but I'm not sure who would want to buy anything I'd sell. Plus the fees take up way too much of the profit. Maybe if I made bigger, more expensive things, but something like those crocheted snowflakes, which I'd only sell for a few bucks... that doesn't work. :/

And for another, I'd like to be able to buy things where they only take paypal. This would probably happen a heck of a lot more than me selling things!

This all means that I need to go get some cash and start a checking account not being used to pay bills (I wouldn't let paypal within a million miles of that one) and keep just my mad/craft money in it.

I've been meaning to do this for months now.

Go inertia!
