Most people don't know jack shit about anything, so it's a safe assumption.
This doesn't even make any sense.
Also it's a very "teenager" thing to say, if you don't mind me saying so.
As for Finnegan's Wake, it's fairly well-known as an example of archetypal "impenetrable highbrow literature", if not as anything else. Regardless of how fair that assessment actually is or is not.
Frankly I think James Joyce's writing is way more interesting as a series of experiments with the English language than as actual literature, but that's just me.
I mean, a sizable slice of the population doesn't even know who the vice president is (*BRB digging up statistics*), so banking on people not knowing about a book, even a famous one, is a safe bet.
Though that's a sample of the overall population, not people who are on the internet regularly (*Who you would expect to be more well informed*), so I guess my logic is kinda flawed there.
Every intro-college-level textbook on chemistry will tell you that water's polar molecule structure forms a lattice superstructure when solidified, which makes ice more expansive and thus less dense than liquid water.

> Because pi is an eternal, non-repeating series of numbers, on a long enough timescale it contains every possible sequence of digits. Uh no. I can make a very simple non-repeating decimal number: 0.1101001000100001000001000000...
That sequence of digits will not contain 2's, 3's, 4's, or so on.
> If you think of those digits as a kind of code, then mostly it's just gibberish, but occasionally patterns will emerge. In thousands of squillions of digits, you might find the code for a dog or a banana. Read it long enough, and you might find a code for the entire universe. Wow, this is a special kind of bullshit, even as far as Cracked goes.
I just go there for the photoplasty now. Most of the good writers left a while ago (seanbaby basically just ragequit, I'm not sure about John Cheese) and what's left is just SJW shit. IIRC David Wong went full on MRA at one point.

I do not know if this is inaccurate.

Right, because then you can claim to be right no matter how wrong you may have been. :D
Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead
This may be the most wrong Cracked article ever written.

i get so angry sometimes i just punch plankton --Klinotaxis
too far
or maybe romania
i cant remember
good to know.
so they're like within a day or twos driving distance
But the Kappa makes it OK because Kappas indicate sarcasm.
this is now a minimal techno thread
go

> go very low
That's not very low. You could go to Iran instead. Or Zimbabwe. Or the Falkland Islands. Or Antarctica.
And I pretty much never read cracked.
I am pretty sure I have read every single one of these in other Cracked articles, maybe even other David Wong articles.
Also, apparently the EV system in Pokemon is one of the most hidden easter eggs in video game history, even though you can see your Pokemon's EV spreads just by pressing a button in the latest game, and calling an NPC in the game before that.
Their first and last pokémon game could have been Japanese Green.
