Why does the word rueful have the same root as the french word for street? The origin is apparently middle-english for the former, or so-I-have-read.
I am not sure about the rest of you HU-mans but streets and experiencing a variant on the emotion sadness do not necessarily go together for me.
Anywho, I'd just like the public to know that I have been rickrolled not once, but twice today. That's right, twice in one day. AND the blog in question specifically promised that 99% of its links were not rickrolls. I like the idea of having rickroll disclaimers, even if they do turn out to be false.
As well, I just want to let anyone who may happen across this post know about Kate Beaton. She does probably some of the funniest comics on the inter-wubbz. She should also be given credit because half the time I go and look up the figures she satirizes. As a result I know a lot about random historical figures. Case and point, Charles Babbage. I think the more I know about the figure, the funnier the comic was. Or perhaps it's an inverse relationship?
Also, she is Canadian! Score one for us!
