Hey Kiddos,

So, are you a complete geek and have about 10-20 minutes to waste, but still want to feel enlightened, educated and amused at the end of that time?

You do?

Consider TED.com. The high-minded theory behind this site is that there are actually people out there who actually have something worth saying, and that we all might appreciate watching a power point presentation by them.

Redefining the Dictionary is what got me into this site. Now I've always been a dictionary geek, browsing big old dusty tomes just for the hell of it in my younger years, so it was a breath of fresh air combined with a hefty layer of "wow" to see a lexicographer who not only compiles dictionaries but can make talking about them funny.

From there I moused my way through John Hodgemen talking about alien abduction and Scott Macleod explaining how comics have evolved with the medium they've been printed on.

And that was an hour well spent.

This guy is the best reviewer of anything ever.

Oh -- NWS (language, suggestive clippings)




Where I got this from (and where you can find other reviews)

Horrors it's a penis post!. Porn writers aren't the only ones with porn vision apparently. But putting those posts in bondage isn't really that helpful imo.

OMG, I got a virtual gift! Thank you fireun!

EDIT: wiccat how did you know I needed more panties!

EDIT AGAIN: Thank you so much for the virtual gift lynx212 That's so sweet!

Believe it or not, that poem actually makes a lot of sense -- if you speak the right form of chinese.

I kind of like this much shorter repeating homonym, that I found while perusing a site sugar_in linked me to:

"A gentleman working at a sign printing company was reprimanded by his boss for using too much space between words in a recent sign for a Fish & Chip shop. 'Son, you have put too much space between fish and and and and and chips.'"

It makes more sense if you spell it this way: "Son, you have put too much space between fish and & and & and chips"

I had a couple of ideas for April Fools jokes, but the ominous Hydra-Headed Demon of Bad Timing reared its head. So instead of scaring the pants off my F-list, I'll put up some humourous links to other people's April Fools Jokes, courtesy of my hubby, who found them.
