Midweek limericks

Some of my favourites:

There once was a man from Nantucket
whose walrus oh so luved its bukket.
One day walrus groaned,
it had just gotten pwned;
Said the lolcat "O HAI, I JUST TUK IT".

There once was a [person] from [place]
Whose [body part] was [special case].
When [event] would occur,
It would cause [him or her]
To violate [law of time/space].

There once was a man named Bertold
Who drank beer when the weather grew cold
As he reached for his cup...
"NEEEEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP!!!"
Oh, snap! You just got limerickrolled!

All these and more at LimerickDB: Top 150.

Bonus recommendation:

After reading all the acclaim poured over World of Goo, I downloaded the demo on my Mac. It's a series of physics puzzles that reminds me a lot of Fantastic Contraption.

I wound up buying the game, as WiiWare instead of as a computer game. It sits in your Wii menu looking like a channel. The WiiWare version costs $15 (the computer versions are $20) but you can only buy Wii points in multiples of $10. The WiiWare game won't allow to play player-built new levels, which sucks and isn't mentioned on the game's home page. The FAQ states: "The WiiWare supports up to 4 players in a 'pick up 'n' play' co-op mode. The PC version has online leaderboards for each individual level. Other than that, they're the same."

No, they're not.
