I sincerely hope I’ll never fathom you. You’re mystical, serene, intriguing; you enclose such charm within you. The lustre of your presence bewitches me. I like the unreality of your mind; the whole thing is very splendid and voluptuous and absurd. It is not mere words on paper, Mrs. Nicholson, it is both my mind and heart addressing you.

—Virginia Woolf, from a letter to Vita Sackville-West dated 27 May 1927

I think this is one of the most beautiful things I've ever read.

I haven't done much today aside from watch The Super Mario Bros Super Show with my little cousin, so all I have is "...I guess we win the race by default!" "It wasn't my fault!"

The subject of an e-mail my history teacher sent to our class: "Underwear Prices in the Soviet Union: A Simple Explanation".

We really do learn stuff in that class, I swear.

From an unknown Avatar/Warhammer 40K fanfic:

"Spare us your pity, alien. You gush about your connection with nature, your primal wisdom, but what has it brought you?
"Where are your marvels of engineering? Your voyages of discovery? Your great insight into the nature of the universe? Even at our basest, when we dressed as you do, dwelt as you do, hunted as you do, lived as you do, we did more than merely survive. We built wonders. We made great journeys. We forged epics. You have not.

"You speak so proudly of the plugs dangling from your skulls, little realizing that they are but strings and you puppets. What little you have accomplished you attribute to the wisdom of your goddess, who is nothing but the voices of your dead echoing for all eternity. She moors you to the past, serving as a leash that keeps you as little better than apes, sad parodies of civilization that lack that special spark to become something more.

"We have come to your world in search of resources. Whether your actions drive us back or we take what we want and move on, the outcome is the same. We will depart from your wretched planet, leaving you behind. And in a thousand years, you will not have changed from this contact with another world. You will remain in your trees, hunting your prey, communing with your goddess, until your sun burns out and your world dies.

From a Space Station 13 game:

"Why were you on the floor?"

"Oh, the Captain just shot me."

"Okay."

The captain was hilarious that round, too.

I don't think you can blame them for not knowing that gays are an important part of the water cycle.

[up]I love Cracked's comments sections. Though there are obviously the stupid and trollish comments, there seems to be a higher frequency of actually funny or thoughtful comments than on most sites.

On occasion, the Internet Movie Firearms Database can get really snarky with it's image captions. A few good examples come from their Metal Gear Solid 4 and Far Cry 3 pages, but these are only some of the ones that I found that tickled me.

(On a stand alone KAC Masterkey system used by some of the bad-guys in Metal Gear Solid 4) Attaching an accessory shotgun to a standalone grip is rather like buying an iPod and then nailing it to the side of a desktop PC.

The rebel soldier thankfully realizes that Snake pointing a SCAR-H at his groin is just the old man's way of saying good morning.

(On the strangely modeled FN MINIMI...thing in Far Cry 3)' Jason holds his hideous insult to God equipped with an ACOG scope as he tries to find a suitably deep hole to hurl it into.

PKM on the store menu. Presumably you fold the stock to the side and then it plays an audio clip saying "you're still holding a machine gun, you idiot."
