I just learned that Taiwan is an island. That's right, I didn't know Taiwan was an island. Maybe you didn't know Taiwan is an island. Maybe you did. If you did, I bet you think I'm pretty stupid right now. Well did you know that a piece of gold the size of a matchbook can be flattened to the size of a tennis court? Learned that from BonziBuddy, the spyware-puking virtual fatass gorilla, which appears to have disappeared, and is no longer available for download. Back to Taiwan. It seems that on the bottom of so many toys it says "Made in Taiwan." So, I've concluded that Taiwan is a toy-making island, where little boys and girls are put into magical toy-shops and spend their little lives developing Barbies and Bratz for America. I want to live on that island.

Vonage, seems like a good company, doesn't it? They say "$24.99", but like most (all) phone companies, that is misleading. MISLEADING. That price excludes fees and taxes. Let me say that again. Fees and taxes. Taxes aren't too bad, that only adds on a dollar. But fees, that could mean everything. There could legally be a "breathing fee", which charges 1 cent for every breath that you take. They should remove fees and just tell us straight up what the price is. Also, for lotteries, when one wins $1,000,000, they don't get $1,000,000, they get like $700,000 (a severe reduction). Well, I think that there should be a prize that, after taxes, equals exactly a million dollars. That would be cool.
