So anyway, did you guys know they're making Tron 2? I think Pixar has some involvement.

I was flipping through channels last night and caught the start of this movie and I thought it was weird because it was about this pizza delivery guy who stumbles across a robbery. And it was in a mall. And one of the stores was just called "Electronics Store," like that's what it said over the door. And the robbers turned out to be about 40 guys with stockings over their heads. It was really weird.
And then the movie turned out to be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II. So I changed the channel.

This is a trick. A couple of months ago I calculated the last number, which is too big to post here, but then I realized that with fractions there are still more numbers.

Any page that doesn't have a hyperlink on it is the end of the Internet. Some of the pages linked to from above have outbound links on them. Therefore, they didn't understand the joke they were trying to tell. Therefore, they fail at the Internet.

I haven't seen one of these in 10 years, maybe? There's something quietly sad and desperate about these pages, like a long-abandoned geocities fansite. The end of the internet is bleak indeed.

I thought the end of the internet is a place where pEopLE wRitE LiKe tHiS except with indecipherable spelling, say "LOL" aand "MUAH" when they are happy and "ur a gay fagget" when they are upset, and communicate through the use of glitter graphics.
At least, that's when I lost interest and stop clicking, so I figured that must be the end.

A lot of these sites say "go outside."
Today I went outside and explored in some woods.
I found a MOTHERFUCKING GODDAMN BEAR.
I am not shitting you, though I did shit a brick.
Because it was a FUCKING BEAR RIGHT OVER THERE AND NOTHING WAS BETWEEN ME AND IT.
So give that some consideration before you go outside.
