The Anatomy of Sarcasm

Ok, I know I told you no more updates for a while, but this was just way too good to pass up.
I know linking to an American Pychological Association press release isn't really a post exactly, but it is somewhat relavent to my life. You see, I'm a big fan of sarcasm though my mother always told me it was the lowest form of humour. I'm also a big fan of users of sarcasm (though perhaps they're the lowest form of people...) and here in Haifa, where we have such a diversity of cultures, it's been interesting to see who gets sarcasm and who doesn't.
...I'm trying to think of a witty and sarcastic way to end this post but I'm just coming up blank. Ummm...yeah. Why don't you all just pretend that I ended this post with some biting sarcasm about brain anatomy or something and we'll just leave it at that.

Listen to "The Little Prince" in 100 languages...

... while you wait for me to update my blog. Seriously, it might take just that long for me to get another post up so all of you rabid fans out there (I'm looking at you Mrs Ishikawa) might want to listen to a few of these everyday and pretend that it's me reading them to you.

Reasons to Fear Canada.

To continue my little charade wherein I repeatedly profess my indifference to the country of my birth yet can't seem to refrain from linking to all manner of Canadian miscellany, I bring you this.
It's all in the name of cultural exchange, I swear.
