www.usps.gov is not the real postal service website.
www.usps.com is the real one. :)

they look the same. also, .gov is the government extension. and a ping to www.usps.gov comes up with 56.0.78.100, while .com comes up with 56.0.78.101

also, http://www.usps.com/moversnet/howtopacka2.html#hippos is the same document

and if you go to http://www.usps.com/moversnet/howtopacka2.html#hippos ( with the .com ) it is the same page, so they just have the .com and the .gov ;)

Naw, gotta be real. Remember, these are the folks (along with the IRS) gave us "This page intentionally left blank"

more friendly moving instructions:


PET ROCKS

Probably the only pet easier to move than a turtle. Be careful to not let your pet rock out of its box while you are driving the car. It's simply too easy for them to cause an accident by slipping under your gas or brake pedal.

I think we have IBM to thank for helping popularize this item.

Moving is one of the most stressful times in anyone's life. Humor is one of tthe best ways to deal with stress. Props to the USPS for having the foresight and concern to help deal with some of that stress..
