Things that are old are still funny.

This is something that I've been thinking about for ages, and a little while ago it came full circle. I hate it when people yell "OLD" at a funny video that was a popular meme a few years ago (eg: Daft Bodies). How is it that if something was entertaining  (say) 2 years ago isn't funny at all anymore and even the very mention of it incurs angry faces and groans? 

I'm not talking Rick Rolling here, I'm talking about Charlie the Unicorn, Powerthirst, letmegooglethatforyou, the Star Wars Kid. We're adults now, this isn't like looking back on fond memories of Power Rangers only to realize that every episode had the exact same damn plot (exception: the introduction of the Green / White Rangers, but I digress). 

Stop giving me a hard time when I lmgtfy something. Planet Unicorn is still funny.



PS, folks, I've got a post on my recent trip to the Kennedy Space Centre coming up the pipeline, there were a few adventures to say the least. I'm hoping to get it out this week. This is mostly difficult right now to the thesis hanging over my head, I've been given an (arbitrary) deadline of June 1st for initial submission.
