Stumbling Around the Inter Net

!) Perhaps the worst Yahoo Answer yet - although the question left a lot to be desired. But you can't beat the reason the Asker picked the answer. All in all, an entertaining time.

2) Free as in Beer, or Free as in Blogger Accounts? A majestic one-shot blog that has Nothing to Do With Free Beer! Also, I think I am the only person to have looked at her profile. I've done it maybe twice. Oh lost love, or abandoned short story. Full of equal parts bathos and pathos.

Sigh. I really want the blog address though.

3) Duff's Device - "the most dramatic use of case label fall-through in the C programming language to date!" Exclamation point mine. Breathless tone Wikipedia's.

4) William Francis Buckley - did his kidnapping set off the Iran-Contra scam? Probably. Was he the most bad-ass librarian ever? Not by a long shot.

5) Typeface - Really, Marvel Comics? A Spider-Man villain named Typeface, who writes letters on his face with a grease pencil? For the love of Darwin... And he later fights a character named Spellcheck? Alright, that's it. I am outta here. (sound of door opening, slamming shut, feet walking down stairs.)
