In the lifetime of any good nerd, he will suffer a crisis. This shall be a great crisis and it will take the shape of this thought… “Should I switch from QWERTY to Dvorak?” Visions of super fast typing will dance in his dreams. Most of the time, like with me, he’ll get over it. Or she’ll get over it, don’t want to be dissing any laydee nerds. Now, for all the suckaz who actually switched you will learn that it is not faster to be typing on the old dvorak layout. (via) It’s a bit of a long read (and old! from 1996), but if you get to the bottom it looks into the supporting struts of the dvorak argument and notes how actual little supporting evidence there is for this and how suspiciously tied to the dvorak organization they are. Sorry, dvorak people, qwerty rocks, I totally still type faster than you! Dilemma solved!

Ahh, good times. If that brings up the rage in you, though, and that in turn makes you wish to don a costume and go forth and fight crime, well, do I have the site for you – the World Superhero Register for real-life superheros! I don’t know the timing of this bad boy but it reminds me a lot of Millar’s Kick-Ass (which totally lives up to it’s name, btw), except without the actual fighting of crime. But here you have photos and bios of would be crimefighters, donning their costume and walking the streets of there home town. Don’t think you can just submit your halloween costume, awesome as it may have been, because they’re checking for true evidence of your vigilantism or public service (which kinda does kick-ass). So, you know, stand up and be recognized!

Finally, if you’re a fifth grader (or maybe if you’re just not as smart as one) you can submit your drawings and writeups of monsters to be submitted to a new role playing game! It is completely, completely fantastic. From Bluke:

Bluke is really smelly. His B.O. (body odor) is the worst. There is something peculiar about his ears. They smell like food. One smells like cookies and the other smells like pizza. His breath smells like beautiful flowers. And his hair smells like a garbage can. His smell is very crazy!

This monster is sending mixed signals! And also, he wouldn’t be able to get a public job in Zurich! Or else maybe http://www.arcdream.com/monsters/oakmountain/ladon.php“>Frenzy, Menzy, Grimzy, and Slimzy:

Have you ever seen a monster with five eyes, curvy mouth, eyes and nose, and has killing necks and heads growing out of it? Well, you are about to hear about one.

Dude, that monster is so bad its necks will kill you. Its necks. So great! You should really check them all out. This is imagination at its best.
