This is a bit off topic, but I thought as the Star Wars books come up from time to time I'd mention it.
The U.S. Postal Service has unveiled its set of 15, 41-cent 'Star Wars' stamps to honor the 30th anniversary of the first movie.
I'm not sure which surprises me more, the 41 cents, or the fact that they are doing it, along with a promotional contest of some sort, posters, etc. Even though I've been a long time fan, well I guess you could say a 30 year fan, of Star Wars, I think this is a bit over the edge. The other thing that amazes me is the promotion and contest. If you need to mail a letter you get a stamp, so why do they have to advertise and promote a public service run by the government? I never understood back when Lance Armstrong was still winning the 'Tour De France' why exactly the U.S. Postal Service was the teams sponsor. I guess it just a good example of your tax dollars at work, and why they need to raise the price of a stamp to 41 cents! Does anyone remember what the price of a stamp was in 1977? I know it was in the teens, but I'm not sure exactly what it was.
