Once every two weeks I click through and read and think, "What the fuck am I reading this for?" Today is no exception.

Wait, wait. If you're thinking this once every two weeks, that's an exception to the other 13 days, right? STOP TRYING TO MIX UP ME, MAN-SPIDER

I admit this isn't the most useful information, but it did make me chuckle.

Also worth noting is that the site is available [but with pop-up ads] at http://www.silicagel.tk/
