It's no secret that I love Meerkat Manor but this is one of the funniest things I've read in a few weeks. In, of all places, the NY Times.
“I really do not think it matters how we say it,” one online poster wrote, philosophizing on the language of mourning. “It just matters that we do say it. The grieving process is a complex process. Many stages. I am now at the ‘I want to do something to make a difference stage.’”
(I wonder what this poster’s to-do list looked like the following day: “1. End Darwinian struggle in the animal kingdom. 2. Pick up eggs and shoe polish.”)
