Today belongs to Human Encyclopedia. Long live Human Encyclopedia! H.E. is probably the funniest man I have ever known. Never a day goes by without him making a joke or some triple wordplay, and almost none of it is planned or set up in advance.

My dreams were a hotbed of my delusions of grandeur, can you tell?
