Petition to verb Mercator (named for Gerardus Mercator):
to mercate = to distort scale or importance until the ignorant nod.
E.g.,
“That map mercates Greenland.”
“Those stats have been subject to mercation.”
“My résumé? Lightly mercated.”
Etc.

Someone's house, Los Angeles. I feel certain that somewhere between palm trees and starlight, Marlene Dietrich is about to glide through those doors in liquid satin and pause just long enough to accept applause before vanishing into a waiting Mercedes Cabriolet.

Happy 122nd to Cornell Woolrich, shadowy godfather of noir. From The Bride Wore Black to Black Angel to Black Alibi, his “black” novels evoke a world where dread seeps through every doorway and cast a spell that crime fiction never escaped. His influence still coils through the genre like smoke. 🖤

☘️ There aren't many great non-dirty limericks, but there are a few...
There was an old dame named McBride
Who ate a green apple and died
The apple fermented
Within the lamented
And made cider inside her inside.
