WTF? Porpoise caviar?

Some poor bewildered soul asked me if there was such a thing as porpoise caviar today. I hesitated, then replied that such a thing was impossible on the following basis:

1. Caviar is fish eggs
2. Porpoises are not fish
2a. Porpoises do not lay eggs
3. Therefore, procuring caviar from a porpoise is doubly impossible.

It seems some nut was trying to convince this person that porpoise caviar exists. I do not know whether to applaud this act of misinformation, or to applaud it louder.

Urgent Public Safety Warning Against Trap Of Heart!

Sources indicate that the Malaysian government either has a Discordian in their midst, or there is no Malay word for "parody." Possibly both. Either way, the Malaysian government has issued a statement to the public, warning about the false information available on Uncyclopedia (a parody version of Wikipedia, as if Wikipedia wasn't funny enough on it's own. But we shan't go there):

Translated article from a Malaysian news source

"Authorities expect the statement to urge the public not to feel free to download and disseminate relevant website content, in order to avoid falling into the trap of heart."

(Wikinews article for those who are laughing too hard at the inadequacy of the Google translation to get what I'm talking about, and a Malaysian tech blogger's thoughts on the subject)

Seriously, how can I even make fun of this? That a website which was created for the express purpose of being less accurate than Wikipedia has been accused of attacking an entire country's national unity is just too... perfect for me to want to touch. I leave this for you, Dear Readers who are blessed to see such miracles within our lifetimes, to admire in whatever way you see fit.

Woah, freaking awesome!

I'm posting this using ScribeFire, a Firefox Add-on that allows me to publish posts without logging in to Blogger. Hooray for tools for lazy people!

My winter break is more than halfway finished, and I've done jackshit in terms of schoolwork. This is to be expected, and you probably could have guessed that, so congratulations on having a few seconds of your life wasted by me.
