Sometimes, though, there's a gem in one of those to do something silly with.
I've pretty much given up checking the ones that are bare URLs, especially if they're too long and there's no makeashorterlink.com or tinyurl.com equivalent given. (So, if you'd been relying on me before to come up with those, don't anymore. Sorry.)

(And yes, I know these folks have a bias, and it comes out in the political examples -- but the non-political ones make the point I wanted to share.)
One major point is that smart != good.
One thing the author never says (but really hints at), but that anyone who's done a good job with D&D characters should know, is that intelligence != wisdom.
Okay, so it wasn't exactly a bare URL . . .
