Build-a-Muppet →
Wow. We should really look into this. (Yes, I am joking, but it’s a neat idea nonetheless.)

Chelsea, why do you fall for it? →
Sensationalist journalism is a plague.
Finding the easter eggs
I recently quit a lynx instance. Or, that is, at first I decided to quit, but then remembered something else I needed to do — so when it prompted me with an ‘Are you sure?’–message, I pressed n. To this, lynx happily replied: “Excellent!!!”, complete with three exclamation marks. Cute little thing.
Steal [that] Comic →
Pure brilliance. Munroe has spoiled us for a long time on xkcd, but this really is marvellous, although I believe it’s been seen before. But it’s just that simple, it’s good.

Fiction Rule of Thumb →
An obvious exception would be The Lord of the Rings, which is almost entirely made up of words the author invented.

When they kick at your front door, How are you going to come? With your hands on your head, Or on the trigger of your gun?
A Modest Proposal →
Zeldman’s proposal is obviously a pipe dream, but a good one none the less.
