A friend of a friend building an airplane?

How about a flying saucer? https://enjoyer.com/an-alien-cult-built-a-spaceship-in-a-mic...

I first learned about this from a friend in Detroit, MI, who told me about it when he learned my mom grew up in that village. When I asked HER about it, she knew exactly who/what we were talking about. It was an interesting conversation.

Needless to say, this one remains firmly in the "started" category, but looks like it got closer to "finished" than one might likely expect.

Please, please, PLEASE tell us that stands for Peanut Butter and Jelly!

More seriously, how DID you wind up with those call letters? Do applicants get some say in the selection, or is it just whatever they give you?

I'll do you one better.

The first item returned by a search on "couch" is ABC-00927226, which "features a rectangular form resembling a couch, characterized by a solid, box-like structure." In other words: it's a box.

HOWEVER: We KNOW it's a COUCH, because: "One side prominently displays the word "COUCH" vertically, rendered in a bold, modern font."

It's BOLD! It's MODERN! It MUST be a "COUCH!"

In three decades of surfing the web, I've never encountered more than a couple of those error messages. This set of pictures makes me wish I'd run into them more often.

Ah, The Design of Everyday Things is a wonderful book, and the source of one of my favorite epithets:

It probably won an award.
