Miracles, Schmiracals, haha just reading the Wikipedia entry, I suppose the Littlewoods miracle here in UK is if somebody wins a fortune the football pools (run by a Liverpool company called Littlewoods). The miracle happened to you today, Michelle sent me.

Hello from Michele! Great post, I did my own word cloud thing yesterday just to see what it would come up with.

I was all excited about moving to the new planet until I read and found out how cold its estimated to be. Guess I'll just hang around the ol' Earth for awhile!

srp said...

Here from Michele. Congratulations on being site of the day.

People really expect a miracle once a month? Perhaps you must expect one before you get it.
