This claims to be the funniest five-second clip on the internet. DRAMA!

Heh. Spiffy posted an avatar-size version of that a couple of weeks ago, and I can watch it over and over.

On a more educational note, here is a video about your changing bodies.

The funniest part is the plethora of dimwitted users who think it's real.

On a similar note, sex education for Metroids. You think humans get confused by the changes their bodies go through?

Discussion question: how many of you learned about the word plethora from Three Amigos? Si, El Guapo!

Oh, don't get me started on xkcd. That guy makes me SO MAD. I've said before that I could have been the Websnark guy -- well, I could have been the xkcd guy even more. But noooo, he's the one giving a speech at MIT on the strength of his stick figures.

ARRRRRGH.

Also, he's one of those smug Linux jerks who are all smug and jerky about their smug jerky Linuxness. And he can't stop pointing out all the sex he's apparently had. And -- look, I acknowledge that this is spite. I love his comics; he deserves his success. But he's yet another guy who came after me and got famous doing my kind of humour. I can't help being frustrated by that.

Not me. Never seen it.

You were simply ahead of your time, Zeke.

And now? Now you're old and past it. Such is life.

Nor I. I knew it even before Radar took his correspondence course.

Keep fighting, Zeke. You've already made a breakthrough--sort of--with the unattributed quote stolen from one of your guest writers and ripped out of all surrounding context now circulating the war-torn streets of Baghdad to make a sordid political point.

xkcd is the next step. I guarantee it. I mean, you totally could have done River Tam Beats Up Everyone.

Of course, that means closing down this website and going mainstream. But it's not like there's been a Trek fiver yet this year. It would be hard to miss it any harder than we already do.

Although I freely admit I carried the Shran apology around for days afterwards. Days. Posted it in my locker. And, you know what? The Trekkies came. And they laughed.
