An underlining problem

You know how sometimes when you're half-asleep you have an idea that you think is brilliant, but the next day you wonder what the hell you were thinking? Well, a couple of nights ago I was lying in bed and I thought:

What if I wrote a blog post about how nobody underlines anything for emphasis on the internet because underlining is now a universal signifier for a hyperlink? That's what I'll do! I'll make a post with a bunch of random words underlined to emphasize how underlined words are now only seen as links. Then maybe I'll sneak in a real link so people will have to scroll over every word with their mouse to see if there is a secret link in my blog post. Wow, this is a super-great idea. I should come up with all my blog posts at four in the morning!

I just checked every one of those. Feels like I opened a fortune cookie and it coughed.

Did you find the image? One of them is an actual link.

Ahhh now I've checked twice. I'm sending you a bill. No links. I've been Sim'd!

Ryan Danger Sims said...

Sim'd?! I hope that doesn't become a thing. THERE IS A LINK!

Ryan Danger Sims said...

Okay, I'm giving it up. I have had more than one person say that I didn't put in a link. That would be just cruel. Click on the exclamation point at the end of the paragraph. . . .

Lions don't chase mice around for food, they chase zebra, gazelles and other large calorie rich mammals. The amount of calories they'd expend on a mouse vs what they'd take in just doesn't justify the effort. (snark snark)
