Sorting Algorithms, via The Daily WTF. This goes along with my post on Gnome sort.
Even though you know what sorts are O(n²) and which are O(nlogn), you don't have an intuitive feel for the constants involved, so the graphs are helpful. I wish he'd done an analysis of Gnome sort. I'd be really interested to see where it falls on the graph of O(n²) algorithms.

Conrad relays President Bush's response to those concerned Norwegians. Awesome.
(For those who won't read through, it's satire... or a parody. Well, half of it is satire. At least intentionally. The other half might be considered self-parody).

Ned relayed the following quote:
Есть Два Цвета: Черный И Белый, А Есть Оттенки, Которых Больше.
which he took based on a poor Babelfish translation to mean something like "Between black and white there are many shades". I think it's funny that when the person he got the quote from commented in response he revealed the quote to have the opposite meaning Ned thought it intended:
The more correct translation of the motto is something like 'There are two colors: black and white. Others are just shades'.
