27. the first time i came across Heywood Jablomie...

...I didn't get the joke - though in my defence I never heard anyone actually say it, i read the name in an online article i(n the Onion). anyway googling the name turned up nothing, except he seemed to post on an impressively eclectic range of message boards, so to my endless shame i set up an account at wikipedia and put in an article request for a biog.

Was mortified when i realised - i'm a massive fan of wikipedia and now they prolly just think i'm some awful troll :(
