    This is by far one of the coolest interesting things I'd like to share with other brilliant troubled hopeless CP'ers. Make sure you work your way back out of the hole on your way out. Lots of exciting tidbits, albeit some are complete drivel. Rabbit Hole[^]

    Something worth reading, albeit it's invincible!

    A repost but worth it. BTW it's "titbit", not "tidbit"!

        It is indeed a rabbit hole and the one I am not willing to get into. Installing and having Flash on my computer is not my kind of rabbit hole.

            I think it's been updated, 'Minecraft world' didn't use to be in it.

                    I think it's one of those words that have been changed by the bowdlerisers in the US - others include "snigger" and "niggardly" - neither of which have any etymological connection to the Latin word for black, but just sound like they might. It also happens in the UK - some police forces have banned the use of the phrase "nitty-gritty" and some idiots think it refers to conditions aboard slave ships

                      I must have missed it the first time, but all is not lost, as maybe some others can now enjoy it for the first time. Contraire mon frere, but in the land of the great America we reserve 'tit' for other well phrased verbiage. I believe that titbit and tidbit are interchangeable stateside, but tidbit is usually the preferred of the two. Be mindful of 'tit for tat' as well... ;P
