It’s an extensive article and obviously more interesting than the Wikipedia entry on anything.

This one.
WOW. Best Jake and Amir all summer, and the only sketch making fun of Twitter that has ever been unadulteratedly funny.
» Lebanon rebuilt a synagogue on their "Ground Zero" in Beirut after Israel killed over 1200 Lebanese civilians and displaces a million civilians.
Hezbollah responded: “We respect Judaism, just as we respect Christianity. Our only problem is with Israel.”
There are under a thousand Jews among the 4 million Lebanese, and yet none of the Muslims or Christians there protested the big beautiful synagogue.
“Do you know why 20% of Americans call Barack Obama a Muslim?”

Is this what Fred Wilson had in mind with his large financial investment in Zynga?
“Hey, I’ve got a great idea. Let’s advertise our product by littering all over the public’s property in Manhattan. But, there’s a catch…the litter will have our name on it! Better yet, glue that shit down, so it can not be removed. Permanent litter with our name on it=permanent advertising!”
Here’s what I think of that idea. I’d like it if you cleaned it up. And I’m not the only one. Fellow residents of New York City are not pleased.
Please help keep your city clean. Give a Hoot, Don’t Pollute.
This really should get cleaned up soon. As a fellow activist likes to say, this won’t end.
Hey Fred, the company you’re funding looks ugly on my neighborhood.

6341. Then was it that watertight door, which you see on the plan is in the alleyway, which is in front of your room?
- I am not sure, but I think it is No. 23 door.
6342. I do not know their numbers, but was it the one just forward of your room?
- Yes, in the alleyway.
6343. And you actually saw them doing that?
- Yes, they were working on it.
6344. You are quite right; it is No. 23 door?
- We used to call it the skidoo door, on account of the number. That is how I remember the number.
6345. (The Commissioner.) I do not understand that?
- It is an American joke.
6346. Will you explain it?
- I could not explain it, my Lord.
6347. (The Solicitor-General.) At any rate it connects No. 23 with something about skidoo?
- Yes.
