Dear Google,

Fix your **** before we do it for you.

Love,
The Mossad
Sorry, I couldn't resist... :p

Yeah, I'm sure E noticed that and he's asking why this thread is named like that thread. Or at least I am.

Actually, I noticed neither of those things.

Well, I am still curious what the link is with the previous thread. I mean, like... Wot?

I got the joke immediately. I guess going for subtle humour doesn't work very well in HLP... (or the internet in general)

Tangent: This kind of thing is why I'm growing concerned over the number of web sites / services that are taking their already existing functionality and tying it into googleapis (as a wrapper, most of the time). [/noscript is awesome]

You don't have to tell me that (and I mark my jokes much more clearly)... For every joke, no matter how absurd, there'll be always one person who will take it seriously.
Anyway, Google seems to have gotten the memo. :) It should be fixed now.

Indeed. Ah well... at least some people got it. :)

(Self-aware humour works better when you actually show any sign of realising that you were previously being stupid.)

This is not a "bash sandwich" thread. Do not turn it into one.

I got the joke
Sure it wasn't directly above the other thread at the time, but I drew some comparisons

As for google apps, gotta love how it's "again"
