Apparently some toy manufacturer overseas has an extremely morbid sense of humor. Check out the following excerpt from CNN:
Small toys showing an airplane flying into the World Trade Center were packed inside more than 14,000 bags of candy and sent to small groceries around the country before being recalled.
How could someone possibly conceive such a toy?
Ever been interested in tracking what the most widely used English words are? Now you can finally satisfy that burning desire to see if the words you use on a daily basis are the very same ones used by everyone else that speaks English!
Here is what WordCount™ defines itself as:
WordCount™ is an artistic experiment in the way we use language. It presents the 86,800 most frequently used English words, ranked in order of commonality. Each word is scaled to reflect its frequency relative to the words that precede and follow it, giving a visual barometer of relevance. The larger the word, the more we use it. The smaller the word, the more uncommon it is.
It sure is fun to just “browse” and see the top 100 words and then start typing in random words! What words surprised you of their ranking?

yellow[alien]probed | green[alien]probeWe have undertaken an endeavor to quash every last little bug that resides on deviantART. This means that we are not going to be adding new features to the site but, as I said, hunting down and fixing bugs!
Our main goal as this juncture, now that v4 has launched, is ensuring that we have a quality, scalable, and bug-free codebase with which we can build upon for future features and additions.
If you have a bug to report then either send it in via the Help Desk or leave a comment right here on this journal entry. If you do submit a bug then we need to know if it is reproduceable, links to where this occurs, what OS and browser version you are using. This will help ensure that we are properly tracking bugs and allow us to, more efficiently, ascertain where they reside and how to resolve them.
So please help us exterminate as many bugs as otherworldly possible by sending those reports to us ASAP!
… news article forthcoming once I have finished compiling the list of bugs![s]…

As you can plainly see, by this simple snapshot, Anthony is having far too much fun opening up his presents that he recently received from his Grandma. He really enjoyed opening up all the presents and is excited to start playing with all the new Harry Potter goods he received.
Now if he would only stop bugging me about taking him to Toys-R-Us, like I promised, so that he can pick out a game for the Sony Playstation 2 that he is getting for his birthday from Mom and Dad.
Along with the PS2, which he has yet to receive, he also got a snazzy shoulder bag made by Adidas. We will be heading out for his yearly birthday dinner sometime this weekend; location as yet to be determined by the King himself!
Today we received a box of birthday presents for Anthony, from his Grandma-chan. He promptly opened up every last one in no time and immediately started dismantling each toy.
The box was filled with an abundance of Harry Potter goods which he enjoys quite a bit!
Thanks Mom, from Anthony with love!
