Crosswords

It takes a person of certain talent and incredible skill to be able to do a crossword puzzle. They really can't be done by just anybody.
They aren't always easy. I do the crossword from The National Post as often as possible. In 2012, their crossword was so easy. I could breeze through all the clues in a matter of 30 minutes and have all the answered laid out there for all to see. Then 2013 came around and someone down at the paper thought they should step things up and give me a challenge. I really liked being able to complete those crosswords. I haven't been able to finish one of them since the new year.
The formatting changed, and I know some of you don't think this would matter but it does. There are longer words that like to sneak in there and mess everything up. They always make those longer words something hard like the scientific name of some plant, or the name of a random city in a random country that you're just supposed to know. It really isn't very nice. If I can't complete the words around the big word, how am I going to be able to figure out what that big word is?
Next, if you aren't in on all the crossword knowledge, you must do them in pen. There is no pencil where crosswords are involved.
I hope you now feel enlightened on the awesomeness of doing a crossword puzzle. It just makes you feel all fuzzy and warm on the inside, kind of like an inspirational film. Just so feel-good.

The following is an excerpt from 642 Things to Write About:

The next blockbuster medicine that will be invented and what will happen as a result.

The Know-it-all pill is the next big thing in the medicine district.
There will only be 1000 of these pills sold and they will equally be distributed around the world.
As a result, 1000 people will have an unlimited amount of knowledge leading to 3 genocides, 17 nuclear attacks, 23 communist movements and an overall zombie take down.
