Whenever I see people using a Microsoft Surface in the wild, I always think they're filming an ad for Microsoft Surface or they're influencers.
Our unborn baby just looked up at me and said “Daddy, why do people make up things their kids said and post them on the internet?”
Now that my barber blew the cut hair off my shoulders with her coffee breath I know for a fact I’m having a worse day than you.
Most people wouldn't realise that before Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, moths and insects were the dominate species on earth. Edison was the first person to finally control them with light bulbs.
