Categories: It Happened to Me

I Know! I Know!

It’s happened without fail since this blog got its first mention in

BoingBoing in late 2001: every Good Friday, I get email that goes

something like this:

Hey

dude, I heard you were born in the Philippines and thought you might

not know that every Easter, they do an actual re-enactment of the

Crucifixion! Did you know that?

Two such emails appeared in my inbox today. We’re down from last year.

This is like emailing a high-profile employee of Microsoft (say, Scoble) and going “Hey man, did you know that Bill Gates dropped out of school to found your company?”
