Hello reader,

First of all, I’m so honored and touched by the love I received regarding yesterday’s important announcement. You are why I do this.

Secondly, has anyone noticed a shortage of coconuts? No, I’m not talking about my beloved former employer the weirdly wondrous news site. I’m talking about the actual fruit, which Indonesia is reportedly exporting to China en masse. But why?

More on that and the day’s top stories after the jump.

Cheers,

Andra
