Post Office follies

Thank God for memepool! If it wasn't for them, I would have never known about CameraMail. And that's not even the original. This idea is so cool I think I'm going to try it out, but mail it to myself to and from Indiana. I promise to share any results.

But that's not all! There is even more fun to be had with the USPS. From Annals of Improbable Research comes Postal Experiments where their mailing specialist would mail various objects including, coconuts, bricks (wrapped and unwrapped), a feather duster and a ski. Apparently they achieved a 64% delivery rate which sort of surprised me. This all just tells me if nothing else the US has the best postal system ever.
