Actually, scratch that. He does, and goes by Jethro Q Walrustitty.

@Farseer: Well, I hot-tipped it because I figured that people skimming this thread would see a Wall of Text and automatically skip it.

^Okay, I need enough funding to start my own company and build a prototype. I guess investors could provide the funding to build actual examples of it.

How the shit did Firefox come up with "pulchritudinous" as a possible correction for "speechwritting"?

"Pulchritudinous?" Means beautiful.

For some reason.

@ Rocket Dude: No, I kind of overlooked it while I was typing, noticed it was hottipped, and went back and actually read it. Hence, my edit to my post. I still think it undid most of the damage caused by that guy's illogic.

@Farseer:...Oh.

Maybe you should save my post and read it in case that happens again.

So, I wanted to take a look at our Depeche Mode page. But when I typed it in the search box, I wrote "Depeche Moe". Sure, it was just a simple typo, but I can't help but wonder...

One time, in class, we were talking about the different jobs in Ancient Egypt, and this exchange occurred.

Classmate: Gee, is there a job where you sniff people's farts?

Me: There are people who get paid to sniff butts all day. They're called Yes-Men.

Cue teacher bursting into laughter.

It's interesting what a simple trope walk can tell you about the Whateley Universe.

What's the frequency Kenneth?|In case of war.

I followed a link and somehow ended up watching a Robot Unicorn Attack walk-through. Really not sure what to make of that thing.

"Pulchritudinous?"

Pulcher means beautiful in latin.

I planned that all along, Fan. -Kinkajou

And yet it sounds like something you call your enemy.
