After failing to make you laugh yesterday, I’m back with a vengeance and a joke, thanks to my sister-in-law (thanks Michelle!)
What did one casket say to the other?

That’s by far the worst joke I’ve heard all month.
The other day I was writing the word “seperated” and accidentally typed “serprarated”. I guess that’s a sign of being obsessed with SEO!
Anyway, hope that was funny enough to withdraw attention from your bad joke. I got your back, Beal. haha

Interesting stuff about Alexa. I always wonder how Alexa calculate its rank for the sites not related to common webmasters interests. Seems like that is in the past now.
