Memepool has more than earned its place in my aggregator. Where else would I learn of The Monkey Chow Diaries (and blog), or the plot structure of Fight Club in Legos, or this flying dude?

Amadana&#8217;s new headphones come with an amusing warning label:

Can&#8217;t climb wall.
Can&#8217;t listen to the voice in your heart.

Sure, the above looks fake, but Lichen pointed out this other Engrishism: “Fits well and stable&#8230;with movable ear hangers.”
