From the “My arms are tired today” department… This blog appears to be all about the apology. Here’s another one. For all of you alien sentients who might be reading this posting some light years away, I’d like to apologize for the state of the planet that you’re considering invading. Simply put, we’re not taking care of it. The responsibility apparently escapes our comprehension. In order to better quantify what I’m describing, please point your attention to the “Tea Bag Timer“, yes, it really is a semi-automatic robot arm which takes care of un-dunking the tea bag at such time as the tea is sufficiently steeped. We use either the irreplaceable outcome of a star going nova (steel version) or plastic made from dead dinosaurs (jaunty penguin version) in such a way as to render either base material useless for subsequent non-tea use. I don’t understand either, but I apologize on behalf of the species. Please have a good day.
