Growing up i used to read Cracked Magazine. Cracked was one of a handful of magazines that tried desperately to become Mad. It didn't always work, but sometimes it did and eventually it became famous for being where Don Martin went after he got tired of dealing with Marvel.
This, of course, has little to do with their old domain cracked.com, which is trying to fashion itself as something between the Onion, a Xerox machine, and those longer articles in your college paper you never read either. Still, every now and then there's something that's actually worth spending a few minutes to read. (Yeah, i know it's a reprint of an existing article.)
For what it's worth, i constantly struggle to grow my monkeysphere, and try my best not to waste braincells. (One wonders how many of those 150 slots are filled with folks that wouldn't know you from Lancelot Link.) i try to reserve a few slots for the folks that happen to be around me in the vain hope that maybe they do the same for me. It doesn't always work, but it's nice when it does.
