I know this comment is a little late, but I just found your blog via Google. Is the article you wrote available electronically? I ask because I recently started a database of inherently funny words and phrases and I’m wondering what figures of speech you mention and if there’s any overlap.

Thanks for any help!

That’s awesome! I’ll have to see if I can find that magazine ’round these bumfuck parts. Congrats!

I love Mental Floss magazine. I found this on the stands at Borders bookstore a couple of years ago, and absolutely loved it. So, of course I subscribed to it, and look forward to reading your article. Great stuff!

Yeah, in addition to Borders you can find it at Barnes & Noble, Walmart and really-good newsstands (in LA, most newsstands have it.)

Which doesn’t mean, per se, that LA newsstands are really-good compared to the rest of the country’s newsstands, but well…you know.

Wow, even Wal-Mart carries it now. I remember not too long ago feeling as if I carried some fabulous secret because I knew of this magazine and my poor friends did not. So, of course, I would share my copy after I finished reading it, and for the longest time I would not tell them where they could buy it. Yes, evil of me, I know. Looks like they are moving up in the world. I just went to the web site and ordered the new book and the 2005 calendar. Good stuff.

That’s pretty darn cool. I can’t wait to be disappointed when I don’t find the magazine at the newstand right outside my train station. In which case, I’ll try to find it at Barnes & Noble.
