So some of you may be aware of the lolcat phenomenon, but do you know of the Laugh-Out-Loud Cats? Adam “Apelad” Korford has been posting them on Flickr for some time, and they are remarkably adorable, easily as much as my own addition to the lolcat oeuvre. Well worth a look.
I have also made a loljurist picture:

One of my areas of low-level geekery is encodings (I say “low-level” because I usually decide to move on to something else in ten to twenty minutes), and I found a variation on the international maritime signal flags that at least a few other people will probably like. This is the sort of joke that could easily be carried to extremes.

I got a rather macabre spam just now:
On further inspection, it turns out they’re referring to dead mortgage leads.

Drew (of the dubious invention I blogged earlier) has made another comic that’s kinda about law. For my part, I don’t think the big table would have personal jurisdiction, but I am unfamiliar with the rules of civil procedure involved here.

Here’s another list of law-inspired band names. If (for some inscrutable reason) you dig this sort of thing, you might find my prior post on the subject interesting:
| Name | Genre | First album |
| the Adjudged Infringers | Pop-core (based in Wilmington DE) | Overbroad |
| Paul Cohen and the Miller Tests | Punk | F*ck the Draft |
| the Specific Performers | Cello-heavy chamber-punk | Æquitas |
| the Common Mekaniks | Gangsta rap | P. H. O. S. I. T. A. |
| Hunter’s Lessee | Southern rock | Justice Story |
| The Men on the Clapham Omnibus | Arty concept-rock, always performs anonymously and masked | The Life and Times of John Doe |
| Terry, Stop! | Happy hardcore | Frisk |

This one is a really terrible science joke and an homage to xkcd. Did I mention that it was a really terrible science joke?

I went to the hardware store today to pick up some more science stuff, and I saw a three-ring binder on a shelf behind the counter labeled "The Archivist’s Cookbook". I thought that was pretty funny.
More soap this weekend, I think.

The ends of BART cars are labeled “X” and “Y”, but I would rather they were labeled 3′ and 5′.
Rite Aid is a drug store, but I think it should be a liturgical supply shop.
I should move to Florida and start a tool shop called “Miami Vise.” (Apparently, a purveyor of fly-fishing equipment has beaten me to this one.)
