Here at TWW we try to collect and distribute knowledge in exactly ten words, no more no less. For example…

Lance Armstrong:
Inspirational unitesticled cycling legend. Singlehandedly invented the rubber wristband industry.

There aren’t too many entries yet, but some of them are pretty funny…

If you use Google Reader to stay up-to-date with your RSS feeds, then the new Google Reader Play interface is well worth a look.  It has a slick interface, is very easy to use, and actually does a good job presenting interesting items to look at.  I don’t think it will ever replace conventional feed browsing, but for a quick fix, it’s quite good…

Kelly Kulick found out early that men hate being whipped by women. The first time she beat a boy bowling, he punched a wall and broke a knuckle.

But even she didn’t expect the nation’s reaction after she became the first woman to win a men’s Professional Bowlers Association Tour title.

Zero. Nada. Zilch. She has to keep checking her phone to see if it died.

Hello? America? This is the equivalent of “Man Gives Birth!” It’s never happened in any ball sport in American history. Kulick, 32, should own Page 1. Somebody should throw her a parade. Or at least a state dinner. Instead, she’s gotten one free hair coloring. That’s the highlight.

This is pretty messed up! I’m no huge bowling fan, but this kind of unprecedented achievement should have gotten some coverage, at least…

I thought we were done with fear-mongering bullshit politics, but I guess when Congress barely understands something (“The Internet is a series of tubes.”), then it’s easy to get snowed:

The biggest threat to the open internet is not Chinese government hackers or greedy anti-net-neutrality ISPs, it’s Michael McConnell, the former director of national intelligence.

From love songs about writing HTML code to synth-fueled denunciations of the cool kids, [CNN’s list of] odes to geekery are as good as it gets.

This is a decent list, and the comments have some good suggestions as well…
