Whoosh!
Sorry to post more RSS crap here, but I find Mark Pilgrim’s post today about leaving RSS alone absolutely hilarious. Mark rejiggered his RSS 2.0 feed to follow the spec exactly as its author has defined and clarified it, and in the process, broke a hefty percentage of the programs out there that read RSS. The best part, though, is the comments, where an amazing parade utterly and completely fails to get the point (not least the author of RSS 2.0 himself....)
Nice going, Mark. Very subtle.

There must be a German word for that feeling where you have to laugh, because they haven’t developed an operation to change you to a different species, and that’s the only other tolerable option.
