Get a job, hippie! Quit looking at your psychedelia and playing with your imagination. Oh wait... in this case they're actually mathematicians. Well... get a real job!
Something's rotten in the kingdom of 2log; there are strange, inexplicable events plaguing this once serene land. Gerrit was the first to notice them, and tried to alert us, but we did not listen. Now even more weirdness approacheth. A mysterious group identifying itself as "The Feminist Majority" has started commenting angrily on the most innocuous posts. What's worse is that if you unmask these charlatans you find that the group is actually made up of Tim Allen (convicted felon), Jay Leno (noted crybaby and former 2log contest winner, under what now must be considered suspicious circumstances), and a surprisingly sane and healthy-looking Danny Bonaduce:
But it does not stop there. The arrival of these usurpers to the throne has been accompanied by a strange spell of invisibility cast upon all following commentators, so that none of their images appear, with or without a 'stache:
Where is the bold sir knight who could set things straight? perhaps brave Sir Robin could be of help:
Today is the 25th anniversary of Mikhail Gorbachev's appointment as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and the 17th anniversary of Janet Reno's confirmation by the United States senate to become the first female attorney General of the United States; as always, Google found a subtle way of working it into their logo:
I used to think it was useful, but I keep getting "follow" requests like this:
Funeral Resources? What kind of person follows this anyway? I can't get this picture out of my head: a paranoid person,expecting their aging parents to die at any moment, but oh thank god for microblogging, because we got dad's casket for 15% off, and wouldn't have been able to without @FuneralExpert.
Today is the shared birthday of Sharon Stone, Shannon Tweed, Chuck Norris, Olivia Wilde, Carrie Underwood, Eva Herzigova, and Osama Bin Laden; as always, Google found a subtle way of working it into their logo:
Today is the 20th anniversary of Dr. Antonia Novello's swearing in as the first female Surgeon General of the United States, and as always, Google found a subtle way of working it into their logo:
We try to run a fair points competition here at 2log. And by fair, I mean grossly dishonest, corrupt, and prone to bribery.
But while conducting my routine audit of last week's points competition, I came across something weird. The winner of last week was one Ms. Florence the Diva Horse, a.k.a. Flo Sparkles Divine, a commenter who appeared once about a year ago and never commented since.
But you see, the particular algorithm that calculates the winner of the 2log points competition is something like the Goblet of Fire from Harry Potter. It seems to work by magic, and its word is gospel. In Harry Potter's fourth year, all of Hogwarts was atwitter when the goblet of fire chose Harry Potter as a fourth competitor for the Triwizard Tournament, in clear violation of the rules of the tournament guidelines. In his infinite wisdom, Dumbledore assumed the goblet knew best and allowed the contest to continue with all four, and was ultimately vindicated when the Triwizard Tournament ended with the death of the much-maligned Cedric Diggory (SPOILER ALERT).
Similarly, we may think it odd that the 2log has chosen "Flo Sparkles Divine" to win last week's competition, but we have to accept its wisdom. Thanks to all the 2loggers for your hard work writing entertaining articles for our readership, but roll out the red carpet for this week's reigning champion... that horse.
