Despite starting off as a joke mocking critical theory, the Swole Acceptance movement quickly realized that there was legitimate grievance against weak privilege. From being groped to being called meatheads to being accused of being drug users, the so-called swole, be they cisswole or transswole, have realized the joke is more serious than they thought.

Accompanying this is another joke, a Discordianesque "religion" called Brodinism, which is acknowledged as a joke but still used as a source of wisdom and solidarity. So, to sum up: Swole Acceptance is not a joke, except when it is; and Brodinism is a joke, except when it is not.

Apparently, a Fluffy Pony is an infantile, neotenous, mentally impaired and physically frail representation of a My Little Pony. These are then put into a series of greentext misadventures wherein they meet gruesome, painful fates and substantial abuse. This abuse is then represented visually on Fluffy Pony image boards, and subsequently stored on the most incomprehensible archives. Welcome to the Internet; I'll be your guide.

Libraries in the U.S. are slowly being outsourced to private companies. One of the largest is Library Systems and Services. It is currently the fourth largest library system in the U.S. Its method of cleaning house has led to some controversy. Much like privatization of prisons, the outsourcing of libraries sparks a debate as to the role of public government in the running of libraries. Like it or not, though, library outsourcing is here to stay. Understandably, librarians and librarians' associations have their opinions.

Zinc and Vitamin C, both antioxidants, are very beneficial to health and immune function. The problem is, both of these nutrients interfere with the absorption of copper and iron. Copper and iron are beneficial to the body as oxidants. Thus, consumption of one comes at the expense of the other. This is known as the copper paradox.

Gatas Parlament is a radically leftist group of Norwegian rappers. Their musical stylings have included the typical Scandinavian campiness. Yet these rappers and their friends also can get intense, whether addressing feminism, defending graffiti culture or imploring us to "pump our fists" and "put our middle fingers up for Big Business." This is made more ironic by the fact that, in Norway, all the areas most Westerners associate with "Big Business" are nationalized.

The largest big cat in the world is the liger: a hybrid between a lion and a tigress. Ligers tend to share behavioral characteristics of their parent species. Ligers are afflicted with giantism, and can reach weights of up to a thousand pounds. Male ligers are thus far sterile, although females can breed. A hybrid between a tiger and a lioness is called a tigon, and is generally smaller and never exceeds the size of its parents. This is because in the lion species, the genes for growth hormones come from the father and genes for growth inhibition come from the mother; in the tiger species this is not the case. This difference is related to the cats' social structure; lions with multiple males in prides have to compete for resources within the womb; thus is it to the father's advantage to have large children and it is in the mother's interest to limit the growth for genetic diversity. Tigers, who are solitary, are under pressure to have as many children as possible; thus it is to the father's advantage to have many, equally-sized cubs. The mother doesn't need to inhibit growth. Mixing and matching genes results in a condition called growth dysplasia, hence the giantism of ligers and dwarfism of tigons. The relations of gene expression to social behavior is part of the reason why it is difficult to breed giant domestic cats.

Because humans and chimpanzees share roughly 99% of their DNA (this number is in question), it is believed by some that these two species can crossbreed. The resulting theoretical hybrid would be called a humanzee. There are rumors of humanzees, but no hard evidence. In the 70's and 80's, a unique chimpanzee named Oliver was believed to be a humanzee: he preferred to walk completely upright, drink and smoke, had an odd smell that was considered neither human nor chimpanzee, lack of hair on his head and humanlike facial features. A recent test shows that he is genetically a chimpanzee, and is either a new subspecies or a random mutation. And so, while Oliver enjoys the golden years of his life, the search for the humanzee -- and its ethical ramifications -- continues.

Determining a chicken's gender is apparently a very difficult and complicated process, and several books have been written on the subject. Chicken sexers are esteemed in many circles. The reason why sexing the chicken is so important is that roosters are no good for eating.

The oarfish is the longest bony fish in the world. It has been reliably documented at eight meters, with some specimens over fifteen meters have been claimed. The oarfish is a deep-water fish, which normally lives on strained plankton and only surfaces when sick or dead. It is often thought that ancient maritime legends of sea serpents originate from rare sightings of oarfish. Because the oarfish looks like a snake, it was always assumed that it moved like a snake in water as well. Recently, however, video footage of the oarfish proves otherwise. The fish moves with its body in a vertical swimming position.

OBD-II, which stands for On-Board Diagnostics, is a series of serial protocols and bussing systems for automobile control systems. Per EPA regulations, all cars manufactured since 1996 have OBD-II. Using a commonly available aftermarket sensor and a sensor guide, one can perform self-diagnostics or even tweak their car's performance. However, all is not rosy; the proposed OBD-III standards will allow automobiles to be remotely located and tracked at all times, or even remotely disabled by law enforcement authorities.

Voraphiles, or "vores" for short, are a subculture of people that get turned on by one creature consuming another. Often, the vore fetish is intertwined with furry fetishism. Other times, vore erotica is intimately tied with cannibalism and necrophilia. Other voraphiliacs combine vore fetish with religious fetishism, leading to images of angels eating or being eaten by a variety of other creatures. Yet others combine the Freudian sexual fetishism of violence with the Jungian ouroboros symbolism of serpentine consumption and build giant anamatronic snakes.

The gay male community is having a somewhat understated schism at the moment. Currently, there are aficionados of standard gay fare, oral and anal sex, but there is a growing (and vocal!) contingent which are into consensual frotteurism, specifically rubbing penises together. This is sometimes known as "swordfighting." The devotees of this brand of lovemaking refer to themselves, politico-partisan-style, as cock rub warriors.

Argyria is a medical condition wherein ingestion of quasi-medical silver compounds causes the skin to turn blue-grey. This discoloration corresponds to silver deposits in the skin. As silver is a generally nontoxic substance, argyria is physically harmless, although the permanent disfigurement can have profound psychological effects. There are more than a few famous cases of argyria.

Television spinoffs are one thing, but a fictional universe that contains multiple shows is another. NBC is a good example: Kramer from Seinfeld is the landlord of Paul Buckman (from Mad About You)'s bachelor apartment; Ursula from Mad About You is the twin sister of Phoebe from Friends. In addition, Urkel from Family Matters (itself a spinoff of Perfect Strangers) crashed a jet back into the cast of Step By Step -- one of whose characters, Dana, made an appearance on the show Boy Meets World. While the obvious motive for such connections is increased marketshare (after all, link a new series to a known good one to increase brand recognition), it's amusing that the linking series almost always outlive the linked ones.

The W32.Elkern virus has a few dead giveaways. It usurps the MZ Header in the Windows PE Format (used by executables) to insert an entry point to its own code. Normally, the MZ header contains a stub program called WINSTUB.EXE that prints "This program can not be used in DOS mode." and exits. The virus programmers bungled that message, so it says "This program must be run under Win32". The presence of that message is a dead giveaway of virus infection. That message, as well as the SMTP commands the virus uses to propagate itself, can be seen with the POSIX strings command.

The Goth subculture is perhaps the least understood of any pop subculture. Their origins are in dispute, but it's generally accepted that the movement is born of the post-punk movement among aficionados of bands like Bauhaus and Joy Division. They are often on the receiving end of ridicule and scorn. The situation isn't helped by the fact that, even when lent an understanding eye, Goths manage to make a mockery of themselves.
