I am not online, or I would just edit this myself.  But I thought it
sort of sadly humorous enough to mention here. :)

I am offline, reading our biography of Desmond Tutu.  A great man, a
Nobel Peace Prize winner, instrumental in the fight against apartheid,
and of incredible cultural importance and impact on our era.

I quote our article:
>In the Friends episode The One With the Two Parties RACHEL is quoted as
>saying "My parents happened. All they had to do was sit in the same
>stadium, smile proudly, and not talk about the divorce. But nooo, they
>got into a huge fight in the middle of the commencement address. Bishop
>Tutu actually had to stop and shush them."

I think that's one of the worst examples of fancruft I have seen in a
very long time.  (And, I note, there is no source. :))
