Wait—how DID tea cosies change the world? Guess I'll have to read the book.
How Tea Cosies Changed the World is one of the
nominees for the Oddest Book Title of the Year. Other books singled out for
this honor include:
—How to Sharpen Pencils
—Goblinproofing One’s Chicken Coop
—Was Hitler Ill?
—Lofts of North America: Pigeon Lofts
In slightly related news, I'll be finishing work on The Big Book of Superheroes in the next month or two. Hopefully, it'll be out by next winter!

Dang, the Tooth Fairy's totally coercive!
The Non-Stop Mom posted this letter from the Tooth Fairy to her daughter, Emily.
My Dearest Emily,
I came by tonight to retrieve your tooth and leave your payment—however, because of the condition of your bedroom, I had a horrible time even getting to your bed safely. Once there, I was unable to locate the tooth pillow due to the amount of pillows, blankets, and bodies in your bed. [Note: This refers to sleeping siblings who were also in the bed, not victims of Emily's homicidal rage.]
I will have to come by on a different night—perhaps you can take the time between now and then to properly clean and organize your room. I bet if you ask your mother NICELY, she will even help you to do it.
Much love,
The Tooth Fairy
More info—and photos of the room!—can be seen here.
