I've always loved the fact that the word 'sneeze' is the result of a historical accident. The original form, in the Middle Ages, was 'fnese', but someone mistook the 'f' for the long medieval 's' and wrote down 'sn-' instead.
Fneezing sounds much more like a proper, nasal sneeze.

#HPC is… High Performing Coke-and-Coke-products
todays my birthday.
it’s also the day 16 years ago I discovered that a customer for the data center I worked at had racked 3 full cabinets with over $200k of brand new server hardware on top of $80 of canned soda from our customer lounge vending machine to avoid spending $600 on mounting rails

Reminder Superman is not a power fantasy, he's an altruism fantasy.
The idea of someone with godlike powers using them solely for good (with an antagonist who is a billionaire, who by definition do the opposite) was dreamt up by Jewish kids in the 30s and its just as if not more relevant now.

If someone wishes you "happy holidays," it doesn't mean they hate Christmas. They're simply acknowledging that there are *many* sacred observances that take place this month, including the anniversary of Muntadhar al-Zaidi throwing a shoe at George W Bush on this date in 2008.

Museums really are leaving money on the table by not selling more reproductions of Little Guys
Every museum should have a Little Guys Tour, and at the end of the tour you can buy reproductions of all the little guys
