Hot: This is what happens when cultural icons collide, in many colorful, delightful ways. Monty Python’s Spanish Inquisition sketch has stood out from their amazingly memorable show (Monty Python’s Flying Circus! Go watch it on Netflix or something), and has blossomed into a lasting cultural reference, at least among the geeks. Here we see that [...]
MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR WHOLE MISERABLE LIFE.

Hot: As promised! Props for making this happen go to: Wikipedia entry on Emperor Norton Brusheezy and of course… Dr. Hypercube, for once again rising to the challenge! Clicking on the image above will produce the full-size version, which is 1000×400. The signature is less authentic than I would like, but I haven’t the capabilities [...]
