Right before the Budget for 2010 is read

Speaker: "God, we humbly acknowledge our need for your guidance in all things"

Really? I would've hoped the Finance Minister could come up with a Budget himself, actually...

FREEDOM

It's funny when something you've thought to be quite profound for ages turns out not to be.

I often get coffee from the bookshop at uni. Every time I go there I see a little piece of coloured paper on the wall with felt-tipped letters reading:

FREEDOM.

As someone who's rather fond of freedom I found this cool, albeit a little odd.

Today I picked up my coffee earlier than usual, and realised the sign is above a little basket of free newspapers (usually empty by the time I get there). It actually says "Free Dom", referring to the Dominion Post. Oops.

So it turns out I'm both extremely unobservant and read far too deeply in to things!
