Oh. My assumption was that since Wikipedia (unlike tvtropes.org) is so persnickety about "notability" (whatever THAT is), simply creating a photo, blog, and an eBay sale is enough to base a wiki page on. After all, if you were allowed to create pages on anything at all, Wikipedia would quickly descend into chaos (if it's not already).

This one just wowed me. Totally amazing.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centennial_bulb http://www.centennialbulb.org/facts.htm I found this thing through Snopes.org. I'm still goggling at it. A hundred-year-old lightbulb that's been lit (more or less) continuously for all this time? Yikes. You learn something new every day.

Talk about circular reasoning. We've got a guy called LtFielding, and he's sending us a link to the site that we're already on (more or less). Suddenly it ties together jokes from two completely different Victorian authors. On the one hand, there is the inevitable "sick of cleverness" gag from The Importance of Being Earnest that Zeke and I have already driven into the ground. On the other hand, we've got the more obscure "Mr. F" gag from Sense and Sensibility. "Maybe he's a handsome lefftenant." "The elusive Mr. F." "He has no profession." Et cetera. Aud nauseum.

LtFielding, is that a field mouse in your avatar? Whatever it is, it's cute.

Legend to the Future This is a wonderful fanfic that I just discovered, a crossover between the wonderful Richard Dean Anderson/John deLancie series Legend and the Back to the Future movies (specifically, background for BTTF III).

xkcd is the next step. I guarantee it. I mean, you totally could have done River Tam Beats Up Everyone. Of course, that means closing down this website and going mainstream. But it's not like there's been a Trek fiver yet this year. It would be hard to miss it any harder than we already do. Although I freely admit I carried the Shran apology around for days afterwards. Days. Posted it in my locker. And, you know what? The Trekkies came. And they laughed.

Not really....
Unless you're deliberately linking to a 'hotlink alert', in a round-about way? But I found the relevant picture anyway.

Okay, it did NOT look like that when I copied the link. It was a blown-up picture of a frame from First Contact. One of the art designers or something had inserted a tiny, blurry Millennium Falcon into the battle for Earth. Of course, no one would notice until the advent of frame-by-frame DVD players. It was just an in-joke that I thought was cute.

I've seen that picture before, but you can't hotlink to images at EAS -- never could.

Yeah, fool.
Let's berate Nate, because "Nate" and "berate" rhyme.

Why can't you? We're talking about hyperlinks here, not copying.
