Zalgo works on every OS in my house, as long as it's viewed in firefox. That's a lot of OSes and a lot of firefoxes.

The other day I was digging through my favorites, and I found this: The Fail Blog, which psmealey posted on January 29, 2008.
No wonder the "fail" meme seems so stale and irritating; It's at least a year and a half old, and in internet time that might as well be an eon.
Besides everyone who is me knows that the new hotness is to phrase it as such:
"Epic Flailure"
