Worst Tie and Shirt Combo Ever?

MOO.com Secret Stuff

Dear MOO,

We love you! You bring us great pleasure in sharing our teeny weeny photo cards with others. You make use glow with pride when they remark on our cleverness.

Much to our chagrin, other recipients can’t read the itsy-bitsy writing on the backs of our totally terrific MOO mini cards. They hold the card close, then far, then say, “That’s nice.” We know they are bluffing.

Please say that you’ll make a bigger format so we can hand out our photo cards to those folks so that they don’t have to squint anymore!

Please, oh please, let the Secret Stuff be business card-sized MOO goodness!

Sending you best wishes for lots of greener pastures,

—Your happy customers

Supercities

In 19, 20, 21, you will find an engaging presentation documenting the rise of supercities through recent history. Though urban growth and sprawl is the status quo today in the 21st century, we’ll all be living in even bigger cities in the near future, according to the presenters’ projections. The people behind this study hope to explore the impact of this phenomenon on our lives and our futurand convince the movers and shakers of the world to listen to this important message.

Visit 19, 20, 21 for the entire presentation on history of supercities and the exponential growth of human population. Very highly recommended.

Note: I didn’t realize that Tokyo had passed Mexico City as the largest city in the world. 35 million plus, that’s amazing!
