Anyone who has gone to Google today (and today only) will have noticed a curious scene depicting a bunch of troublesome-looking youth at work painting a fence. Naturally, connoisseurs of American literature will know that this scene was lifted from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, by the great American author, Mark Twain. Google, not being in the habit of changing its front page whimsically, has done this today because it is the 176th anniversary of said author. So, happy birthday, Sam!
An impenetrable blend of fact, truth, and opinion from Bro. Patrick McLaughlin, a seminarian for the Pannsylvania Province of the Oblates of St. Joseph, currently studying theology in Southern California.
