There once was a man named Enus

# Posted by Joel Dixon at 12/02/2009 21:45:02

Randall Munroe, author of the hugely popular geek webcomic xkcd, recently posted a link to a limerick site he created - http://limerickdb.com/ (check out the top 150 for the good ones)

Some of my favourites:

Quoting BSOD Limerick:
if(computer.fail==true){
background.setColor(blue);
user.frown();
sys.shutdown();
user.scream("OH, FUCK YOU");}

Quoting Meta Limerick:
There once was a [person] from [place]
Whose [body part] was [special case].
When [event] would occur,
It would cause [him or her]
To violate [law of time/space].

The format of the site reminds me of the Quote Database, a collection of amusing IRC quotes. Must mention a personal favourite from that site:

Quoting QDB:
[Cthon98] hey, if you type in your pw, it will show as stars
[Cthon98] ********* see!


[AzureDiamond] hunter2
[AzureDiamond] doesnt look like stars to me


[Cthon98] [AzureDiamond] *******
[Cthon98] thats what I see


[AzureDiamond] oh, really?

[Cthon98] Absolutely

[AzureDiamond] you can go hunter2 my hunter2-ing hunter2
[AzureDiamond] haha, does that look funny to you?


[Cthon98] lol, yes. See, when YOU type hunter2, it shows to us as *******

[AzureDiamond] thats neat, I didnt know IRC did that

[Cthon98] yep, no matter how many times you type hunter2, it will show to us as *******

[AzureDiamond] awesome!
[AzureDiamond] wait, how do you know my pw?


[Cthon98] er, I just copy pasted YOUR ******'s and it appears to YOU as hunter2 cause its your pw

[AzureDiamond] oh, ok.

While looking into Randall Munroe's wiki page - I found a few other useful sites I didn't know about:

I've really gotten soft since we got kitties - the cutest one was by far my favourite. Probably why I love lolcats so much - cute kitties with funny captions. Bliss!
