Rubenerd

My post about the Minecraft Xmas Easter Egg made me want to try embedding one of my own. In the last post, I:

• Linked to the “wrong” article. I quoted the Wikipedia article about Nori, or Japanese seaweed/algae.

• Wrote the title of the post as phsycological instead of psychological. Phycology refers to the study of algae.

• Get it? GET IT!?

I thought that was so clever, we’d all be able to revel in its sheer clever cleverness. Except it wasn’t clever at all, because I misspelled phycology. DAMN IT.

I set up the pins, chose the perfect bowling ball, and threw it down the wrong lane. I built a DaVinci helicopter with upside-down rotors, and drilled myself into the ground. I made a beautiful jaffel or kaya toast with inverted bread and filling, and set the toaster on fire. I put trousers on my head, a shirt on my legs, and gloves on each foot. I ran freebsd-update with the -r release flag, and chose an earlier version. I installed a beautiful new hybrid floor with the noise-dampening pads on top. I launched my new car, train, and/or light aircraft backwards into a brick wall.

This is the kind of backfiring joke you’ll only read right here at Rubenerd. Or other places.

To everyone who (a) still got my bad attempt at a joke, and (2) sent a correction, thank you! I’m surprised, happy, and a little scared how closely some of you read my stuff. I’d better be careful.
