Probably just a quick post

This isn't intended to be a full post, but rather a quick note to myself:

The second law of thermodynamics. There's something there.

Now, this really will mean NOTHING to anyone who reads this, but eventually I may elaborate. It's really not all that important.

So, a few posts back I mentioned putting a link in the post. Did you find it? Well, it's actually found by clicking on the title of the post. I haven't used this feature in any other post until today. Today's link is to the wikipedia. What is the wikipedia, you might ask? It's the internet's free encyclopedia, and it has an entry for EVERYTHING. Yes, whatever you're thinking of, it's in there. yes, that too, you sick fuck.
Anyway, when I first came across the wikipedia, I really didn't like the idea. For one, the name is stupid. Yes, I have warmed up to it, and no I can't think of anything better, but when I first heard of it, I just thought. dumb. DUMB. Also, I first came across it with some entry (which I don't remember), but that entry was steeped in deep slang. and I thought, great some source for all these little street urchins to dumb-down their grammar even further.
But then something happened. I wanted to look up information on what an aleph number is - "aleph usually refers to a series of numbers used to represent the cardinality (or size) of infinite sets."(And yes, I did in fact steal that definition from the wikipedia.) What's truly great is that inside each definition are multiple paths to different topics related to the topic you're investigating. multiple branches. It's like a freakin' Choose-Your-Own-Adventure(tm) of knowledge. I'm waiting to follow a link and recieve a message that tells me that the entire G.I.Joe team is proud of me for taking down C.O.B.R.A. and that Destro will never ever again try to burn down the library.

Ok, off to bed.
Oh, yeah, my car has NO BRAKES. sweet dreams to me.
