More News of the Weird:

In December, a self-employed market analyst in Chimacum, Wash., requested from the Internal Revenue Service a copy of the 2003 Form 1040 and instructions so he could revise an old tax return. Three weeks later, he received instead two shipments totaling 48,000 copies of 2005 Form 1040 and instructions.

  2. Nice. I’m glad the IRS is making such great use of our tax dollars. Sounds like the IRS is the only reason the postal service is still around!
