In a move that was very "whoa, dude", today someone on Reddit posted that the word "bed" looks like a bed. I feel I have heard this before, but from whom/where, I cannot recall. As silly as pointing this out may seem, it's interesting to note and I wonder if it's just a coincidence (probably is).

Bed
It doesn't look as cool with the first letter in uppercase; I guess it's just a larger headboard?

About Me
- Emily
- I am a high-school English teacher who enjoys cooking and somewhat of a foodie (though I have qualms with that term and the privilege associated with it). I am a thoughtful eater, but I am not a dietary zealot; I hold an adventurous attitude towards food but am respectful (within reason) and appreciative of varying philosophies and where morality intersects with culinary and dietary decisions.
