WORDmeister’s Note: I’m a crab, astrologically speaking, and came across this horoscope, which seems prescient today: “CANCER—Be very careful at work. Things are changing quickly. Watch out for hysterical bozos going the wrong way. Don’t be one.” Good advice.

“Sir Arthur C. Clarke, who died March 19 [2008], had a wicked sense of humor. Talking about claims that UFOs regularly visit this planet, he said: ‘They tell us absolutely nothing about intelligence elsewhere in the universe, but they do prove how rare it is on Earth.’”

in his Sri Lankan newspaper, 2008.
