Commented on Curious Histories of Generic Domain Names

re: Meat.com...with not very well thought out photo placement (clicking on "Vegetarian" brings up a picture of a roast pig, head intact)And so does clicking on "Kosher Meat". Whoops!

A true math love storyMy best friend met her boyfriend because of this video. No, I'm not kidding! A couple of summers ago, one of her friends sent her a youtube link of a video to cheer her up. The video was, of course, this one, and as she was (and still is) a math geek, she found it to be (in her words), "hilarious, cute, kinda sexy, and geeky all at the same time." She thought right away, "This is my kind of guy."About a week later, she came across the Klein Four's website with their contact info, and she emailed them to tell them how awesome she thought the video was. Matt (the guy in the middle, who wrote all the songs), emailed her back, and before long, they were emailing each other every day, multiple times. Then talking over AIM every night. Then talking on the phone every night! They even sent each other little packages in the mail... since they lived 3000 miles apart, and they knew a relationship couldn't work because they hadn't met each other, and the distance was just insane.As luck would have it though, she was in the process of researching and applying to PhD programs, and the only school she got funding for was in the same state as he lived! She flew out to visit the school, and she finally met him... and the rest, as they say, is history. Now they've been together for a little more than a year and a half, and I've never seen her so happy. :)
