First of all, if you are not familiar with XKCD, I suggest you check it out. It is one of my favorite webcomics. Now then, if you are in fact familiar with the strip, you probably know about the captions that are sometimes more humorous than the comic itself. Sometimes the caption doesn't all pop in when you hover your mouse over the image, so you just have to look at the source code to see the rest of it. Today was one such day. At the bottom of the source code for the page, I ran across this little nugget: "We did not invent the algorithm. The algorithm consistently finds Jesus. The algorithm killed Jeeves. The algorithm is banned in China. The algorithm is from Jersey. The algorithm constantly finds Jesus. This is not the algorithm. This is close." I thought that was pretty much hilarious.
...I'm a nerd, I know.
Also, while I'm on the topic of webcomics, the last two days of Crtl + Alt + Del have been especially funny. The current storyline is that Ethan is extremely addicted to Everquest II and cannot be reasonable about it. The house is trying to let him play a new MMO after a lengthy ban on all games from the genre. The first day involves breaking Ethan's addiction and the second day follows with Lucas' complete disbelief.
Cheers.

If you're using Firefox, there's an extension you may be interested in to show the rest of those captions ... https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1715
If you look for info on the internet, you can find that that paragraph is part of a "ask.com" brand campaing, trying to advertise itself as a great search engine.
By the way, the accepted rendering of their name is "xkcd". All lowercase.
