		<description>This is off-topic, but given the topic I don&#039;t suppose that is so bad:

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mturk.com/mturk/help?helpPage=whatis&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Amazon Mechanical Turk&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

That Amazon.com would even attempt this is fascinating. I&#039;ll be very interested to see what (if anything) develops out of it.</description>

		<description>Looks like a diminishing-returns principle was at work there. The self-referential post and comments were gems; the comments that only abstracted familiar responses offer a typology of blog comments, but they wore me out long before I reached the end (805 and counting when I visited).</description>

		<description>This &quot;Blogging Masterpiece&quot; exemplifies pure randomness emerging from pure nothingness. Rephrased more succinctly, this &quot;Blogging Masterpiece&quot; reveals the absolute weirdness of the quantum universe. Rephrased yet again, this &quot;Blogging Masterpiece&quot; displays the micro-world of quantumness infiltrating into the macro-world of classicality.</description>

Best. Post. Ever.
