Photoshopped Romance Novel Covers (via Itchyfidget). Brilliant. My favourite is probably "I can see right up your nostrils".

TNH and assorted commenters on Making Light on the poetry of Nigerian 419s:
I now salute you in the name of Ghod,
I who a piteous widow must complain.
My son, my joy, arrested by a squad —
And in far Lagos he shall soon be slain.. (James McDonald)

Stan Stankowski on Evan Schaeffer's Legal Underground on The Truth About Discovery (mainly for lawyers this one. Not just US though. I have been before Masters where the outcome has been something very close to: Judge (after a whole lot of other crap): You are both hideous little people who fight about nothing. Both of your motions to compel are granted. No fees.

And I've just remembered I have almost a week of Dinosaur Comics, Piled Higher and Deeper and The Fafblog to catch up on. Shame this thing does actually have to be drafted tonight.

ETA: Oh, and Wikipedia, your days are numbered.

I hadn't looked at Fafblog for a while; thanks for the reminder. Still genius.

I've already had to stop reading frankie_ecap entries whilst I am at work, as they make me laugh inappropriately! Now I'm going to have to add yours to that list too!! And remember to go to the loo first - that Photoshopped Romance Novel Covers is too funny for words - where do they get them from??

I like "Dude where's my sword?"
