There’s a ritual in this Curiosity writer’s house that goes down every weeknight at about 7:30 p.m.: The jeans come off, the PJs come on, and “No Pants Zone” is sung at full volume.

The U.S. consumes more toilet paper per capita than other countries, which is contributing to climate change because we use pulp from Canada’s northern forests that absorbs man-made greenhouse gases.

The final step will be to hand the tax collectors to the pensions. Then we have civil war — state employees v the people.
