    I was gonna make a joke about rotating the paper 90 rad (thinking it’s a typo), but now I know about gradian (abbrev: grad, grade, gon). 1/100th of a right angle.

    Still guessing it was a typo, but also a happy accident.

    By the way I’m a leftie, but I can write upside down better than I can at a 90deg angle.

    I was learning cursive during the “erasable” pen era in the mid eighties. My hand would be slick with blue bic ink.

    I never really got into the vertical arm wrestling style that some lefties were tought in the previous generations.

    I used to make pretend footprints down the backs of the pages in my notebooks to try and blot it off my hands. And also probably because of undiagnosed ADD.













  • He likes to climb into refrigerators and close the door apparently. Not really a great hobby to promote.

    Adjacent fact: the Time Machine in Back to the Future was initially based on a refrigerator, but they were afraid kids would start playing in an abandoned fridges and suffocate. So they switched it to the Delorean which partially led to the future with a stainless steel Swasticar designed by a Nazi who’s trying to take over the government.

    So maybe it would have been better if they had promoted playing in fridges, and the moron kids from my generation would have been Darwin awarded out of the voting and gene pools.
