*NOTE:
After months of exhaustive study we have discovered that it is difficult to discern sarcasm in a text format.

The W3C is working on this and may develop a special tag that we can incorporate into our webpages that will make sarcasm more obvious.

Maybe they'll make a font that appears to be sneering and talking in a falsetto voice.

Um... I seriously doubt that Journey was talking about WWJD or praying when they played that song. God I hate people.

I'm gonna take my ball and go home.

You! After school man, by the bike racks. My gang vs. your gang.

Monkeys are funny. "Jesus-Journey-'dont-stop-believing' is scary.

I've heard it said that given an infinite amount of time, and an infinite number of monkeys with typewriters, that they would recreate the works of shakespeare. I say that if we are talking infinite amounts of time we can just sit and wait for the typewriters to become sentient species themselves.

Imagine it. Sentient typewriters.

Of course, the poor typewriters would probably just kill themselves instead of typing shakespeares plays when they saw that computers had usurped their status.

The poor things... they would be forced to type out their suicide notes in their own ink... effectively spilling their lifes blood onto cheap paper made of 10% post consumer materials.

Wouldn't then the typewriters themselves would become post-consumers, and then be made into post consumer material? Can you imagine if former consumers were all made into post-consumer material? I mean... the typewriters could concievably be made into a Buick or something... but... but...

Soylent green? Hrm. Tastes like chicken.

Why does everything taste like chicken? Is it some sort of plot?

Maybe given an infinite amount of time everything will taste like chicken. Perhaps there's only a limited amount of taste in the universe, and everytime we try something new it takes out the taste of something else so that only a vague chicken taste is left behind.

Except for cake. There is no way I would eat chicken flavored cake.

Chicken pot pie.... perhaps. But cake is Sacred.

Speaking of which, who has that link, I lost it in my last rebuild.

Anyhoo, we do need some new font tags to signal sarcasm how about (snarky)(/snarky)?
