Rosetta Stone

I used to work at a bakery here in town, and one day a camera crew from Rosetta Stone came through and photographed a cake in different stages of being decorated.

Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage

Things that annoy me excessively... 1. Referring to a Bluetooth-based wireless headset for mobile phones as "a Bluetooth". I know Bluetooth is a brand name (named after an old king; its real name is along the lines of IEEE 802.15.1 or something equally catchy), but seriously. 2. Saying or writing...
