My gripe:
No matter where you go online today to comment on an article, why is it you find idiots having conversations in an area meant for comments? I don’t get it! Who gives a damn who is “First!” or “Last!” for that matter? comment on the article, you morons!
My comment:
This poor little bastard probably grew up to be an animal torturer, and then a serial killer. I did get quite a chuckle out of the read, however.

And add another Damn Better Tester to your list guys.

@Girth: That was quietly lyrical, my friend. A lovely flight. But if our young African hax0r is anything like me, the translation of the quote is more like “Why has my screen lost its resolution? Where’s all that light coming from? What’s that hanging in the sky over there?”

Beta testing is the least I can do given the countless hours of wonderment this site has brought me. Count me in!

Am anxious to view the new site and, probably, get the book (which I suppose is composed of the very articles we have been viewing for the past little while). I doubt I will be of much use in the Beta testing, since I am hardly apt to download from any weird devices. I avoid weird devices. I like my life ‘quiet’ and am not ‘quite’ up to reading DamnInteresting things in/from/via weirdnesses of any sort. That is why I like the idea of a book. Even if I have already seen the stuff on the web, it will seem more mine in an old-fashioned media.

Can’t wait to see the new site! And I would be happy to beta-test the new site on my iPhone 3G.

yea for random Young Frankenstein references! Also, as a first time poster I should probably say something complimentary about the site, it’s content &/or it’s host/creator.
Ummm, maybe next time.

Here, here! I had to look it up on-line at http://dictionary.oed.com… and for others’ sake:

“To make off, decamp.

1837-40 HALIBURTON Clockmaker (1862) 363 Absquotilate it in style, you old skunk,..and show the gentlemen what you can do. 1858 DOW Serm. I. 309 in Bartlett Dict. Amer., Hope’s brightest visions absquatulate. 1861 J. LAMONT Seahorses xi. 179 He [an old bull-walrus] heard us, and lazily awaking, raised his head and prepared to absquatulate.”
