Something I discovered by accident: in the "Final Words" section, if you mouse over the italic words "Ogg isn't bad, it's just different", they change to "Ogg isn't dead, it's just resting".

I don't really understand the reason behind that.




"* isn't dead, it's just resting" is a reference to Monty Python's famous Dead Parrot skit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vuW6tQ0218

By this the author means that "Ogg isn't bad, it's just different" is essentially a lie, because the author means that Ogg is obviously bad.


Aha. The reference passed over my head. Slightly too young for Monty Python to immediately spring to mind. (Now if it were a BtVS reference...)

I did accept his premise of "not bad, just different" because he laid out his explanation below. Not catching the humor in the reference, I thought he was trying to lay out a broader "Ogg is dead" theme that I didn't see any support for.


Maybe it's just an easter ogg.
