Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix
The Signs of Life blog is a community art project documenting unusual signs from around the world. Most of the signs are wacky or contradictory (one of my favorites: On this spot in 1765 nothing happened), but others are touching (I want to hold your hand). Often the signs show cultural divides, or provide evidence of unexpected problems that necessitated signs (see: caution: frogs may be HOT!).
The best part of the blog is that you can submit your own signs. Maybe it’s time to submit Stop Hammer Time.

Thanks! I thought I was the only one that took pictures of interesting signs.

The Newspaper dispenser next at the post office near the local university says (It’s a USA Today paper dispenser) “USA Today” and, written beneath in capital bubble letters: “THE WORLD TOMORROW.”
I don’t know if this is a common thing, but I thought it to be very funny.
