@4: This as good a time as any to finally tell you, Leek: The grad students in all the other departments, arts AND sciences, agree that the grad students in the English department have the worst sense of humor. Weird: there's so much humor in literature, and so little in those who study it for a living (instead of reading it for fun).
Leek: Congrats on your recovery. You're right the link in question isn't the most hilarious thing ever. On the same site there's this http://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/im-co… which I like better. Comic Sans finally stands up to the haters.
At any rate, I've been out of school for 9 years, so I've recovered enough to accurately assess the humor here. Negligible.
