  • The Usenet post I linked to claims it’s originally from the 1st quarter of 1990, but who knows if that’s accurate or not. I actually can’t find a good source for whether Stumpf is the original author or just the one who posted it to rec.humor.funny.reruns, but it’s usually attributed to him at any rate.

    But yeah, fairly ancient by internet standards. I remember first running into it in the 90’s













  • Because ADHD I usually have at least 4 books underway at the same time.

    • I’m just about to finish Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson.

    • I just started Piranesi by Susanna Clarke.

    • I’m also reading A City on Mars, a nonfiction book by Kelly and Zach Weinersmith.

    • I started re-reading the Area X trilogy by Jeff Vandermeer, I think I’m still in Annihilation.

    • I also started re-reading Dune by Frank Herbert, but honestly it’s such a slog that I think I got halfway through before getting frustrated. The worldbuilding may be interesting but holy shit is Herbert’s writing turgid.
