In what looks like an attempt by the United States Post Office to increase the ever shrinking amount of normal mail (snail mail to you and me) being sent because of the birth of email and the fax machine, the USPS is dressing up mailboxes as the Star Wars Character R2D2. Don't they know that all these nerds and geeks have probably never put anything into a mailbox since 1996? They should have a painted it with the nerd goddess Princess Leah in her gold bikini. Update: I'm an idiot. It is the 30th anniversary of Star Wars and USPS is dressing the mailboxes up to mark this event. Still, Leah in the gold bikini is still way better
