    Inspired by this article I decided a to see what the USPS would and wouldn't deliver.

    A week ago I was at lunch with the family, and took a splenda packet and wrote my brother's address on it and stuck a stamp on it. I figured it would be a long shot, but today he called me and told me that he got it in the mail in another envelope and a notice that he owed them 20 cents :D

    I figured this would be an interesting experiment to follow...my next step is to take a CD and stick a few stamps on it and mail that.

    I like the USPS man.

    I can take a letter, anywhere in the US, and have it arrive almost anywhere else in the US for under a dollar. I think that's pretty badass.

    You can actually by a sheet of forty-four 1 cent stamps, write an address on it and it'll get to the destination.

    You should try a condom next, a couple stamps taped on along with the address. Then see what happens.
