When she was visting, my mother found the following on a message board she
frequents:
http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~pyang/base/allyourbase.swf
She showed it to me, being highly amused just on the "really talented
people with too much time on their hands" angle. I thought it was pretty
funny. Dan wanted to know what was so funny, so I sent him the URL, and
after he went there, he wanted to know what was so funny. :) (He doesn't
get Edward Gorey, either.)
I just got back from AggieCon, and someone had written up on a chalkboard
in big letters, "Aggiecon", and below that, "Dealer's Room Hours" followed
by when it would be open each day of the con. Someone came along and
added "All Your" above "Aggiecon" and "Are Belong to Us" just under it. I
thought it was funny. Some of the folks I was with weren't as amused.
(Including said husband, who in fact fled the room once he established
that the noise eminating from my computer speakers was from that site
whose URL I just posted above....)
