Wikipedia's list of unicode codepoints is your friend. Well, my friend.

I wonder if they thought of the millions of Canadians raised on Kraft Dinner first. That tradition runs deep in Canada, even deeper than retelling the story that they burnt down the US Whitehouse once...

License plates are horribly ugly and a fast way to make a beautiful car look pug-ugly.

If I had that kind on money I'd be tempted to just pay $200 every now and then to not ugly-up the car. But I'm a poor sucker, so plates go on the car.

No way you'd catch me doing that. When you break things at my age, it _stays_ broken. Kids heal up faster, let them have all the fun.

Hooray! These two photos officially indicate that fashion designers have explored _everything_ and can now move onto doing something useful for humanity such as baking pizza, making coffee, or bothering to debunk the lies that politicians and lazy media tell.

Sometimes "infographics" are awesome. Open up your copy of Tufte's Visualizing Information to the graphic that demonstrated that a cholera epidemic was spread almost entirely through one water fountain, or the county-by-county cancer death rates in the US, and you'll doubtless agree that graphic displays of information can be beautiful and useful.

But most of what people package as "infographics" on today's series of electronic tubes really belongs in the _other_ series of tubes. Most do nothing to elucidate data relationships but instead just "look pretty". Meh.

if your website is useless on w3m, it speaks volumes about what content it provides that is worth keeping.

Now fit that thing with some Homer Simpson stops to prevent it from tipping over and that could be the Herman Miller of the new decade. (This decade _is_ new, right?)

Wordpress is brittle, news at eleven.

"Can you believe those speciest jerks up there? We go to sun ourselves on the beach and they actually dragged us back into the cold water! What nerve. When the Vogons come, humans are on their own."

I thought I was a Simpsons expert but I still got two incorrect. Well done, MAD, well done.

Haha, I was prepared to write a screed, "how could the author have overlooked UHF?" But there it is! In black and white!

Somehow a movie with Victoria Jackson and Fran Drescher turned out to be my favorite. Keven McCarthy does evil very well, John Paragon is evil plus suckup, Trinidad Silva's goofy animal enthusiast piece gets me every time, and Michael Richardson owns slapstick. Vance Colvig and Billy Barty are awesome. And poor David Bowe -- playing the straight man is so easily overlooked, but he did it well.

Nice list Remy; including UHF gives the other suggestions weight.

Ooh! Ooh!

They could replace it with the "Mommy, why do all the old fat people have stumps instead of feet?" exhibit. Sponsored by Novartis.

Sure twelve year old girls have money to spend but I doubt they have enough cash to spring for suborbital space flight tickets.

Notice the highly uneven browning -- some portions are downright pale and others are too dark? -- that's the fault of using goofy shapes for pancakes rather than Science-Approved "roundish", which keeps any single part from browning while other portions are still raw.

And on this national pancake day, too. Fight against mediocre pancakes!

"I asked her if she found Jar-Jar annoying and
she asked “who?” – Mission accomplished."

Okay, I can believe that perhaps leaving out Episode I and slightly re -ordering the rest might make for a better viewing experience. But it does steal from the girlfriend the shared torment of that horrible Jar-Jar and the endlessness of pod racing. Sometimes a movie will have a long and pointless action sequence and it's easy to explain the annoyance by saying, "Batman pod-races Raz Alghoul".

Similar story for Jar-Jar, though you can add in the Jakovosaurs episode of South Park and explain that Jar-Jar was like Jakov, just without any redeeming qualities. And meant completely seriously.

What kid doesn't draw guns?
