Our Daily Dead

We’re changing out our usual Egad! and Egads! today for a more comic book approach with Gadzooks! Tis something like Egad! (note the root of Gad), but with a bit more of a hook (apparently). ODD words and phrases for $100 Alex - The answer is “True Fact”. Go figure please, but we decidedly heard an attorney use this lovely turn of phrase and it has been hardwired in our ODDheads ever since. Upon consideration we’ve decided it must be valid since the government has for years upon years been delivering upon us “false facts”.

BTW it is a true fact that you should avoid visiting to the Jeopardy web site. Certainly in this case the Jeu Parti name says it all. This site is one of those flash oriented nasties that grabs your browser and refuses to let go. Go ahead and try the escape pod BACK button - Ha! “Open the pod bay doors, Hal“. “I’m afraid I can’t do that Dave.” Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do.

Since we’re on a rant n’ roll - web masters who effectively disable the browser BACK button should be shot - line them up with those clowns who program stop lights to be so incredibly stupid. Do not disable a basic and well understood component just because you want to force users to sit and take in the glory of your creation. You simply add to the confusion and aggravation exactly as left turn arrow lights that refuse to change to green at 2am.

We’d rant some more, but our lips are tired from reading everything our monkeys have typed to this point.
