Exposing the LOL humour buried in math (http://www.xkcd.com/c123.html) and regular expressions (http://www.xkcd.com/c208.html), engineering (http://www.xkcd.com/c253.html), chess (http://www.xkcd.com/c249.html), and internet myths (http://www.xkcd.com/c250.html) ... what a subtle, yet brilliant comic!


Oh, and The Trouble With Wikipedia (http://www.xkcd.com/c214.html) SO FREAKIN' TRUE! :o

The Trouble with Wikipedia is one of my all time favourites.

Yep, that's correct all right. The King has some weird "gems" of knowledge he passes to the prince in both games.
One of these days I've gotta go back to Katamari 2 and finish more fan requests so the King doesn't scold me for finishing the game too soon.

Yup, bang-on -- all the Classmates.com related carbage together, AOL and Yahoo and WindowsLive isolating themselves where folks mostly avoid going, and the blogosphere a scattered series of unconnected islands among which most would be difficult to "bridge" ... and the really important stuff truly "in the center of the world" ;D

even included "Qwghlm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qwghlm)" (!)


ps: nice touch near the "viral straits": SPAAARTA!(ytmnd -- 304 and counting (http://www.ytmnd.com/keyword/sparta)) :D
