Wrong.
Read the second part of the def.

Main Entry: sock puppet
Function: noun
Date: 1959
1 : a hand puppet made with a sock
2 : a false online identity used for deceptive purposes

Obviously that IS a new defintion for the word.”

Fine.  All I’m saying is throw up a new date by the new definition; it’s misleading as is (and yes I know “online” did not exist in 1959 but it still needs clarification in case the aliens don’t understand or know the backstory).  I would also like to point out that this person’s email address indicates that they are Canadian.  Just sayin.

Hahaha this is good stuff.  This is a comment submitted to my “Reflecting on 2009″ post that I thought worthy of sharing via post (as I marked it as spam in the comments section):

As i’m Awesome and you’re NOT, i’ll take a minute to spread the awesomeness of me, and let you know why you’re totally awesomeless….

I began reading this article, looking for new ways to enhance my awesomeness (awesomeness has levels/degrees). A couple of seconds into the article (January) I realized how awesomeless (and stupid) the author is. He says: Turned 26 (sayonara quarter century!) but he hasn’t figuerd out that he actually finished the quarter century a year before at his 25th birthday… when one turnes 25, it means one has lived 25 years, i.e., you finished living your 25th year the day you turn 25 or commonly celebrate your 25th birthday (you moron)… so at your 26th birthday you had lived a quarter of a century + 1 year, and you’re actually beginning to live the 27th year of your life! Get it?… Well, that’s all… i’m leaving this site before it drains out all my awesomeness”

I feel honored that this person  took so much time at 2 in the morning to set me (a guy?) straight!  And the only thing I will add is, if you have to search the internet for ways to be awesome, god bless you.  It’s people like you, who take me literally, that make the world turn ’round!  Thanks mate, and Happy New Year to you!!

Trivia is just another form of random shit, so you know I love it.  Useless knowledge can help you impress people, or win shots at a bar.  It’s win-win all around.  So try your hand at these questions… NO GOOGLING!!!  I’ll post the answers in the comments section later today…

1) What disorder’s names is derived from the Greek word meaning “without appetite”?

2) What nationally observed day in the U.S.  marks winter’s midpoint?

3) Where is the lowest point of the Western Hemisphere?

4) Chicago based architect, Adrian Smith, who designed the recently finished and worlds tallest building, the Burj Dubai, graduated from what University?

5) What was installed in front of major league baseball fences in 1950?
