Star Wars' Yoda gets his own stamp

The U.S. Postal Service was using the force on Thursday, releasing a new postage stamp that features Star Wars' Jedi Master Yoda, known for his odd syntax as well as his wisdom.

The Jedi master's stamp was originally going to be part of a multi-stamp Star Wars set, but is now available by itself after the public voted on which stamp should receive special attention. The USPS also released their annual Christmas stamp on Thursday. Brace yourself. Those feature four classic wintertime knitting scenes.

"The new holiday stamps provide another way for people to express warm winter greetings on all their mailings sent this season to family, friends or customers, " said Katherine C. Tobin, a member of the post office's governing board.

Talk about boring. There will probably be another rate increase due to the people NOT buying those.
