May 22, 4:00AM
What? Everybody's cool with monkey knife fighting but put one up against an unholy giraffe with a katana and suddenly people are yelling, "but it's got an unfair height advantage," "where'd that monkey get an Under Armor hat?" and "why is that giraffe breathing fire?"

May 22, 12:00AM
Along with whether or not Al Gore invented the Internet, figuring out the correct pronunciation of GIF is one of the earliest questions of the Internet. I grew up believing it was hard-G GIF.
