21st century, how did you get this crazy so quickly?

In case you missed the big news, Oprah started twittering last week in an effort to irritate me in all possible mediums.

I was all bitter until I saw this, which is delightful beyond words.



Randomly, I had just learned from NPR about another delightful thing that Shaq did, which I only now just remembered in the face of his internet lesson for Oprah.

Apparently, he wrote a letter for the National School Scrabble Competition saying that the participants

are showing kids everywhere that it's cool to be smart and use your brain. That it's possible to win money, appear on television and have fun in all kinds of ways.

The full All Things Considered story on the scrabble competition is here.

You can also watch this hilarious scrabble-related ESPN ad featuring Shaq, whom I now have a lot more love for than I did 10 days ago.
