“Who Invented the Hug?”

The Daily Kina

our investigation chases down the original hugger to ask them why hugs look that way, with some arms on top and some on bottom

Wikipedia’s entry for “hug” is suspiciously mum on the inventor of the hug and their rationale for why some arms are on top and others below, which leaves our newsroom wondering what exactly they are trying to hide.

Thanks to those of you who have chipped a buck or two in so far. It all makes the next several years of writing these a bit less expensive. Let’s hope Kina’s snuggles last as long as I do.
