Calling all nerds

Do you use Twitter?  I don’t.  I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to learn how, in case I ever want it, but to me that’s kinda like saying I should learn some macrame in case I ever want it.  I’m not gonna want it.

Still, here’s a creative use of the irritating miniblog tool: in a kinda-sorta response to the recent Wikileaks deal, somebody – exactly who is apparently uncertain, is that normal? – created the Wookieleaks tag. Some excerpts:

• Protocol droid fluent in 6 mil languages discharged for violating DADT.

• New video evidence proves footage showing Greedo shooting first was doctored.  Jabba seeks compensation.  Solo has no comment.

• Luke Skywalker, an integral part of the Rebellion leadership, hasn’t completed his Jedi training.

• Contractors’ concerns about large exposed shaft in Death Star throne room were repeatedly ignored.

• Mos Eisley declared most wretched hive of scum and villainy, Detroit celebrates.

• Nerf herders file defamation suit against Princess Leia.

• Exhaust Port manufacturer implicated in Death Star explosion. CEO blames third-party contracting firm for design flaw.

Repetitive but funny.  However as the linked article notes, the tag misspells Wookiee.  Nobody’s perfect.

Here’s the direct link.
