Long story short? The news stories about Australian Santas supposedly being told not to say 'ho ho ho' because it was 'demeaning to women because of being American slang for hookers' are total bupkis. A bunch of Santas were briefed on other things to say to kids who might be frightened by the big boomy noise from a total stranger. And the guy who claimed he was fired for saying 'ho ho ho' and singing? His bosses say the reason he was fired was because of attitude problems, not what he said.

I know people like to tear political correctness apart, but this time there's no...

...

um. Sorry. I just looked out my window and it's snowing upwards.

I don't want to look outside.

Yeah, no. The upwards snow's largely stopped; now it's all falling crosswise, thanks to the usual street canyon wind effects.

That's happened more than once where I work (middle of the East River) - it's truly annoying when you're walking and the stuff is coming up into your face from the one angle that isn't protected by hat/hood/scarf.

1) I'm glad that one is false, it's reassuring that the world's not completely insane (at least in that regard).

2) Shouldn't the title of this be 'Hoh'? *ducks!*

3) Snowing...upwards. Yikes.
