Sarcasm, Sarcastic Comments, Quotes, Remarks, Dark Sarcasm

"Welcome to the Sarcasm Society!
There is nothing more beautiful than sarcasm. That is definitely an overstatement but it should balance the moronic comment which says that sarcasm is the lowest form of humor. Sarcasm usually requires a quick wit, and the ability to extract the minutest points of weakness in a conversation. So it is quite unlikely that it is the lowest form of humor as some would like to call it. Perhaps not being able to enjoy sarcasm is directly related to not having the ability to come up with sarcastic comments, which in turn creates a feeling of inadequacy, which in turn can spawn a Napoleon complex, that can cause someone to logicise that sarcasm is the humor of the stupid."

WORDCOUNT - Tracking the Way We Use Language


"WordCount™ is an artistic experiment in the way we use language. It presents the 86,800 most frequently used English words, ranked in order of commonness. Each word is scaled to reflect its frequency relative to the words that precede and follow it, giving a visual barometer of relevance. The larger the word, the more we use it. The smaller the word, the more uncommon it is."

So, of the 86,800 words listed, what is the least used word? Find out at: WORDCOUNT - Tracking the Way We Use Language

Penny Postcards


"Why "Penny Postcards"?
These postcards cost 1¢ to mail. Postage was temporarily raised to 2¢ from 1917 to 1919 to cover the cost of World War I & from 1925 to 1928 (not sure the reason for the latter). Prior to 1898, only the U. S. Post Office could manufacture post cards. These were generic post cards, blank on one side where the sender could write a message and printed postage on the other side with space for a mailing address. In 1898, Congress authorized the use of cards manufactured by others. These cards could not be called "postcards", as this term was restricted to cards printed by the Post Office. They were often called "Private Mailing Cards" or "Private Cards". One side was reserved for the address; the other side could contain any printed or written matter. In 1907, Congress allowed the back to be divided so that the sender could write a message on the left side of the back and the address to whom the post card was to be sent on the right side. At first, the message area was much smaller than the address area, but eventually the two areas became the same size. Most of these cards were printed in Germany. When World War I broke out, this industry suffered greatly and many of the printing plants were never re-built after the war.

Are They For Sale?
All of the cards shown on this site are in the hands of private collectors. They are shown for your enjoyment. None are for sale. You can find many old postcards available for sale elsewhere on the Internet."
