One of my guilty little pleasures is StumbleUpon (http://www.stumbleupon.com). For those of you who don't know about this, it's a web service that serves you web pages you might be interested in. It puts a toolbar on your browser that includes the Stumble! button. Every time you press Stumble!, it takes you to a website that it thinks you will like, based on your stated preferences and past ratings. It's mildly addictive, because you find so many interesting sites.

The other day I wrote a comment on someone's blog, because the world is very interested in what I have to say, and when I finished my masterpiece, I mindlessly hit the Stumble! button rather than the Submit button at the bottom of the web page. Imagine my confusion when the response was a picture of an office with an aquarium as cubicle dividers. Fortunately I figured it out and went back and submitted my comment.
