Why Copy Editing Is Important
A new young monk arrives at the monastery and as with all new monks he is assigned to help the other monks in copying the old canons and laws of the church by hand.
He notices, however, that all of the monks are copying from copies, not from the original manuscript.
So, the new monk goes to the head abbot to question this, pointing out that if someone made even a small error in the first copy, it would never be picked up.
In fact, that error would be continued in all of the subsequent copies.
The head monk, says, “We have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my son.” So, he goes down into the dark caves underneath the monastery where the original manuscript is held as archives in a locked vault that hasn’t been opened for hundreds of years.
Hours go by and nobody sees the old abbot.
So, the young monk gets worried and goes downstairs to look for him.
He sees him banging his head against the wall, and wailing, “We forgot the “R”!
“We forgot the “R”!
“We forgot the “R”!
“We forgot the “R”!
His forehead is all bloody and bruised and he is crying uncontrollably. The young monk asks the old abbot, “What’s wrong, father?” With a choking voice, the old abbot replies,
“The word is celebRate!”
“The word is celebRate!”
“The word is celebRate!”
“The word is celebRate!”
Thanks Barney for that.
Richard Simmons on Whose Line
I rarely miss an episode of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, and I’m really disappointed that I missed the one with Richard Simmons. But thanks to this wonderful thing called the Interweb, I can view it at my leisure. I can’t say that I’ve laughed that hard in a very long time.

Every person who starts (or participates) in a flame war generally can be described just like one of these folks.
