Apology of not knowing how to link a video.


Helpful explanation of how to link the video with an example that has spaces added with instruction to just take out the spaces.

Attempt to embed mostly-unrelated video without removing spaces from example code.

Same user responds 10 minutes later to proclaim their genius as they worked out that if you took that multiplied Entendre through a wormhole you would shatter the space time continuum by creating a Quadruple Entendre.

Stalks the comic poster in other geek lists and discussions, thumbing everything he or she has to say, hoping to be noticed.
