There’s bound to be some hoots in the short story article here. I wrote one, but it was a Slashdot specific joke most people wouldn’t get.

I voted today in the Yorkton municipal election. They have Sharpie markers in the polling stations to mark electronically read voting papers that they hand to you in a “privacy envelope” which is a folder. They feed it into the “Accu-Vote” while you watch where it’s “counted right then” according to the DRO running the machine and taking the voting sheets. I asked if “it was one of those Diebold machines”, but she didn’t understand the question. Today, Slashdot announced officials are banning the electronic machines in Quebec.

Scott Adams lost his voice, but not in the usual way. His brain was unable to tell his vocal cords to move. Well the Dilbert comedian managed to retrain his brain so he could speak again! It turns out that rhyming was not the same as speaking in his brain, and once he discovered he could say rhymes, he was able to “reroute” his speech. It’s amazing stuff that’s worth a read of at least his last few paragraphs.
