Nudity, Arithmetic & Anxiety
I have less hesitation about stripping down naked in front of a person than I do about public math. Please have mercy and let me privately scribble numbers on scraps of paper. I will come to the correct conclusion in my own illogical way. Don’t make eye contact.

The famously eccentric Mark Twain conducted several self-interviews, including one for the Wheeling Register in 1882. Snarkily titled, “How the Innocent Humorist Simplified the Work of a Reporter,” the interview is best enjoyed first hand — but we will share that the American humorist delivered a few fun jabs on the subject of copyright laws. During his time, Twain struggled with dishonorable foreign publishers who purchased pirated editions of his work, sold them on the cheap, and denied him royalties. Twain eventually won the copyright protection he sought in Canada — due to a frequent offender based out of Toronto — and the author is pretty clear about how he feels on the matter in the Wheeler interview.
