Today I went to a site I go to weekly as an intellectual distraction (I seem to have lots of those, they’re very effective): Snopes.com.
I have been going there off and on pretty much since I found out about the internet, I think extending back to 1996 or so.
In all that time I don’t believe Snopes has updated its site layout. I am probably wrong, but it has stuck with the tried and true for a very long time.
So imagine my surprise: Snopes has updated its layout and gone all web 1.5 on us. Granted, not all the pages seem to have been updated, but there you go: fundamental rules of the universe can change. If Snopes can update its site layout, death and taxes must be flexible rules too…
