Godzilla vs. Cthulhu

Sometimes my wife sends me the strangest links, like this Godzilla vs. Cthulhu fanfic by C. L. Werner with flourishes like,

Suddenly our launch was swamped by a tremendous wave as a gargantuan form emerged from the deep waters off our starboard. Our cheers were drowned out by the monster’s mighty roar as the reptilian titan glared in disapproval at the shoggoth, even as the horror slithered across the waves. We cheered as Godzilla swam forwards to engage the formless abomination of prehistoric blasphemy. Before the alien horror of the shoggoth, Godzilla was the lesser of evils and we prayed for his victory.

Look for the sequel — Godzilla vs. Mecha-Cthulhu.

Robert Morris’ Biography

Kevin Werbach found a bit of revisionism in Meraki Networks technical advisor Robert Morris’ biography,

In 1988 his discovery of [a] buffer overflow first brought the Internet to the attention of the general public.

Of course Morris brought the Internet to the attention of the general public by unleashing a worm that in 1988 caused serious service interruptions on the Internet. For bringing the Internet to the attention of the general public, Morris was convicted of violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and ultimately was sentenced to three years’ probation and 400 hours of community service.
