“It was the best of times; it was the worst of times. It was the age of wisdom; it was the age of foolishness. It was the epoch of belief; it was the epoch of incredulity. It was daytime; it was nighttime. It was hot; it was cold. It was England; it was France. Things were so bad they were good; things were so good they were bad. People wore hats; nobody wore a hat. There were fantastic restaurants opening all over the place; it was impossible to get a reservation. There was this amazing new invention called the guillotine; actually in retrospect maybe the guillotine wasn’t that great. Everyone was friendly all the time; everyone was jerks. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky; if I were you I’d take an umbrella. It was actually kind of funny; I guess you had to be there. There were a lot of great bands doing shows if you knew where to find them; those bands were overrated. It was an era of understanding; it was an era of wacky Fawlty-Towers-like mix-ups. Everything was something; nothing was anything. It was good for the goose; it was good for the gander. The following statement is true; the previous statement is a lie. In short, it was a time of extreme contradiction; no it wasn’t.”

Wishes Do Come True of the Day: So, remember little Noah’s letter to PBS asking them “to make a new show named Super Heroes to the Rescue” in exchange for a dollar? Well, with a bit of urging from the Internet, PBS kinda sort of obliged! They’ve put up a Super Heroes to the Rescue page on the PBS Kids website with a special message just for Noah:
Dear Noah: Thank you for your dollar. We are glad you love PBS KIDS so much! The good news is we have two super hero to the rescue shows that we think you will enjoy, Super Why! and WordGirl. Love, PBS KIDS.
The Internet: The best superhero ever.
