An explanation of the links:

As befits the many years of research invested in this project (thousands of well-spent sponsor dollars), this list has generated much scholarly discussion and debate. Many MIT researchers, in particular, felt compelled to debug it for accuracy and precision, with the ostensible aim of making it more accurately and precisely humorous. Alas, I was not swayed by truth maintenance arguments, nor moved by the fact that the advice was free, nor awed by the fact that it emanated from the humor capital of the world. I have, however, received some e-mail out of which I truly got a kick (parse?) so enjoy. Names and sometimes locations changed to protect the unsuspecting.
