"Outrage is communicated in a particular code made of 1's, which represent logical fallacies, and 0's, which represent jokes told slyly enough that the immediate response is someone clumsily explaining the joke, often with a comment like ``you may have thought you were joking, but'' as introduction. This produces a sense of outrage in the person whose joke has just been fumbled over, raising the amount of outrage transmitted through the Internet while simultaneously hastening the speed at which IP addresses run out, and allowing for more efficient transmission of both the 1's and the 0's. Thus simply by existing the Internet forces itself into a powerful exponential-growth curve, which is why it does so very well for itself." -- austin-dern, 2008-01-11
