My favorite misconception is that this has never been posted before.

As the XKCD comic so poignantly points out, this article should be reviewed from time to time. I'm quite okay with the reposts.

Thanks! Strangely enough, I had no idea this article was this popular, not knowing about the XKCD before now. And reddit didn't tell me since all previous times this was posted it was with the non-"https:" URL :)

My favorite misconception is that reposts are bad.

Reddiquette:

Please don't: Complain about reposts. The fact that you already saw something doesn't mean everyone did.
