Check out the Proofreader’s Hall of Shame archives index. See that little box in the upper-right-hand corner? Try it out and search the rapidly growing archives. Ah, the benefits of PHP/SQL…

We’ve added an incredibly ironic selection of new submissions tn the Proofreader’s Hall of Shame. Check it out…

Yet another useless personality test: What video game character are you? I’m somewhere between Mario and an Asteroid, myself, leaning quite a bit more toward the latter…

Pointless observation of the night: “October” spelled backwards is “Rebotco”, which would make a really good name for a robotics conglomerate in a science-fiction story.

And tonight’s amusing link is the ever-popular Engrish, which this week shows a prime example of how not to romanize Eric Clapton’s name. I think you can already guess how it’s spelled before you even go there.
And while we’re on the subject of Engrish, here’s a link from the site’s forums that I found amusing: Japan-food1. “Oh! Rice wants to have come to eat me!”

A belated Valentine to the way too easily amused: All Your Candy Are Belong To Us. And go ahead and make your own virtual candy hearts as well. (Thanks to Sosiqui for the link.)

Er, a slight addendum to yesterday’s blog entry: Sosiqui pointed out that I had forgotten to change one of the links to the archives on the Proofreader’s Hall of Shame index page. Rest assured that link is fixed now, as well as one I forgot to change on the “About Us” page. Hey, I never said I wasn’t absent-minded, did I?

OK, now that I’ve updated the Hall of Shame’s archives page to utilize the database features available in PHP, I’ve also gone ahead and actually updated the dead links to index.html that were scattered throughout the various pages of the site. Oops. Next time I should be a bit more careful with my site overhauls, I suppose…

I’ve made a slight update to the Proofreader’s Hall of Shame, though there’s no new content. Check out the new SQL/PHP-driven archives index and tell me what you think…

This wallpaper from ThemeXP.org may be one of the best mistranslations I’ve seen in a good while. I think I ought to go about making a popular catchphrase out of it…

Still upset that NBC’s Tonight Show website isn’t archiving Jay Leno’s latest Headline clippings? Well, I’ve been archiving screenshots from the past few weeks’ Headlines because, well, they’re that amusing.

And incidentally, anyone notice that one of the classified ad clippings shown during this week’s Headlines is from none other than The Macon Telegraph? The typeface and area code are a dead giveaway…

Edited 06 March 2004 to add: I never thought I’d have to say this, but as I’ve gotten several comments from people who don’t quite understand the way the Internet works, here goes: I have nothing to do with the Tonight Show staff. I’m just a random viewer with a video capture card who decided to archive Jay’s Headlines while the official site was being redesigned a while ago. If you want to get in touch with the Tonight Show staff or see the latest Headlines, head over to the official site at http://www.nbc.com/tonightshow instead.
