Actually, it is a perfectly cromulent word.

Thank you, they taste much better now.

Seriously though, it worked, but now I have to log in everywhere again.

That's strange. Why did they lock me out of YouTube?

Edit: Stranger still, it works when I use Internet Explorer.

YouTube hasn't been working for me the last couple of days, but people still somehow send me messages.
#35
Yeah, in most cases they will reply that gravity is a law.
#36
*sigh* Yes, that was me. So?

It's a common misconception, but this comment takes it to a new extreme:

Quote from: Captain Art GriegoBe sure to bring your Bible and pray during the flight. Air travel is exceedingly dangerous these days, just look at all the crashes. In reality, we pilots don't really know what keeps a plane from dropping out of the sky like a stone. Sure, we have aerodynamic flight theory training in flight school, but that's JUST A THEORY. I've often been severely shaken by the thought that pilots don't really know why the plane stays in the air.

Yeah, apparently, mechanics just throw parts together at random until they get something that flies.

This reminds me of the episode of The Simpsons where they vote an evil alien for president because they didn't want to waste their vote for a third party.

This reminds me of something Mark Twain said: Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog: you understand it better, but the frog dies in the process.

Dunno. All I know is, xkcd rules!
You are right, that it does!

Still not very funny
I'm glad somebody agrees with me.

I might make myself unpopular by this, but I just have to let it out.
I don't understand why Penny Arcade is so hugely popular.
Let's take this strip, for example.
Could anyone explain to me what's supposed to be funny about it? Or at least what the heck it is about? (No, this is not taken out of a storyline, it's a stand-alone strip.)

Oh, okay, thank you for the tip.

Ad banners that make sounds when you mouse over them! What the fuck? Right now, there is this ,,Death Test" ad everywhere, and whenever I move the mouse, I am bound to hit at least on of them and then it makes this annoying laughter sound! Why do these sounds always have to be so annoying? And what right do they have to play sounds on my computer without me wanting it?

The nutcases are already coming out of the woodworks:

Quote from: TripDo All These Deaths Have To Do With 2012?
ALL these deaths of major people. A big shock, and really Big. do you think this is what's going to happen? Everyone's going to die at 50? I'm kind of freaked out.
First, the queen of beauty. GONE
Second, the king of pop. GONE
Third, King of infomercials. What's going on here?!?
