Wishing you a mime-free New Year!

K.C. Summers of the Washington Post is, like me, a little dubious when it comes to the TripAdvisor site - where anyone can say anything as they rate hotels and the like. Check out the TripAdvisor ten funniest comments of 2007. Here’s my favorite:

“The neighborhood is filled with aggressive mimes, including one sitting on a toilet bowl (how creative). Room cards are changed for no reason and you cannot understand why you can’t get into your room. All in all it was a very unpleasant stay.”

Maybe any trip involving a mime encounter would be unpleasant. Quoth Summers on the TripAdvisor experience:

What inanities have you noticed on the site? And do you find it useful, or are you (like me) sometimes flummoxed by the wide disparity in opinions, and come away more confused than when you started?
