Exposing the LOL humour buried in math and regular expressions, engineering, chess, and internet myths ... what a subtle, yet brilliant comic!


Oh, and The Trouble With Wikipedia SO FREAKIN' TRUE! :o

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.

Also: I knew it!
Also also: set sail fer the country of WoW!

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" (!)


ps: nice touch near the "viral straits": SPAAARTA!(ytmnd -- 304 and counting) :D
