Beautiful mixed kids

I found this article interesting, especially the comments.  As someone guilty of saying/thinking that mixed kids are (often) attractive, I now know to be more sensitive about the issue.

On some level, though, I do wonder if the author is over-reading into people's comments.

Paint by number

I came across this painting online and considered buying it. The one I saw was around $200.

Today I was looking at paint by number kits... same painting!

Two fingers up

Today I heard someone (a British someone) refer to giving the "proverbial two fingers up," which sounded to my American ears like a slightly more polite middle finger.

A little research reveals that (1) it's a "V" sign but with the palm of your hand facing you; and (2) it is exactly as polite as a middle finger.
