The Hedgehog Can Never be Bothered At All. I find the Related Stories error hilarious.

Things that can be made more interesting with bacon: also cat. A StuffOnMyCat classic. Also a writer-procrastination-technique classic. Scalzi strikes again!

Ahh, geekboys. (This strip always makes me howl with laughter all out of proportion to the actual joke in the strip. Hooray for the inexplicably well-groomed beard! The collar on that shirt is wrong, though. Why dig this up now? Because I was cleaning up and found a printout and just about died laughing, which disturbed the roommate some.)

It's supposed to be "buggered", not "bothered". (I know... I'm picky. It can't be helped.)

One of my insane friends from work shared with some glee that if one wanted to avoid Those Kind of Questions from someone whose parents would not appreciate an explanation of "buggered", "bothered" fit in as an excellent substitution that would generally rhyme and scan.

In the animated version of Wyrd Sisters, the actress doing the voices for Nanny Ogg (who's a long-standing British TV actress) decided to take it upon herself to change the lyrics from 'buggered' to 'bothered' because it was a cartoon and children would watch it.

Which would've really pissed me off if I was the director or the scriptwriter that adapted it, but there you go.

The related stories error is, indeed, the best part.

I don't know what they mean, it needs to be related to IT. Isn't that a classic interface error?

[azurelunatic]

It means they're embedding results from their search engine at the bottom of the thing, because that's the sort of error you get when people put the wrong thing in site search engine, but they thought that there would never be a time when their keywords didn't have duplicates, so they could embed it. Or something.

Sorry, bad joke. Penis/hedgehog = interface incompatibility!

[azurelunatic]

Yes. The penis is not prepared for that many pins; it only has the one socket.

Condom -> secure socket?

But, transport across that layer is unreliable.
