From Wikipedia... Due to the many contradictory statements regarding Springfield, it is impossible for the town to exist in any specific U.S. state. For example, in The Simpsons Movie, Ned Flanders tells Bart that Ohio, Nevada, Maine, and Kentucky all border Springfield's state. The city's unknown and unknowable geography is a recurring joke in the series; despite the "riddle wrapped in an enigma that is Springfield's location", Lisa Simpson states that "it's a bit of a mystery, yes. But if you look at the clues, you can figure it out." Episodes frequently make fun of the fact that Springfield's state is unidentifiable by adding further conflicting descriptions, obscuring onscreen map representations, and interrupting conversational references. The telephone area codes for Springfield are 636 (St. Charles County - Western St. Louis County, Missouri) and 939 (Puerto Rico). David Silverman has claimed that Springfield is in the fictional state of "North Takoma". This is substantiated by the state abbreviations NT and TA used within the show. However, this has never been officially confirmed in any canonical episode of The Simpsons or by other Simpsons producers.
Maybe Groening failed geography. And apparently topology, also.
I saw no mention of any purported galactic spreadsheet empire.
And as far as the Inception reference, I'd be more interested in a utility that allows me to exit out to the next highest emulator level. Probably need a Valentine Michael Smith to write that one, though.
I rarely bother to look at a story on any site if it's just a link to a video.
I mean, it's nice that we can (sort of) do video on the web now, but we don't need to use it for every damn thing. Video may be more engaging for most viewers, but you're forced to consume it at it's pace. You can't just leave a page open and dip in to read a paragraph or two in and idle moment. You can't really search within video. And most of the time, you need to have sound enabled to get the most out of a video.
tl;dr - video has some advantages, but you lose a whole lot of what makes the web so goddamned useful.

That's a fine idea, until you get sued because the "random" numbers you're providing turn out to be inadequately random.

From my limited experience with mankind, more like " Silence of the Popplers ".
Don't forget that the movie WALL-E syncs up perfectly with Pink Floyd's "The Wall". A bloody obvious giveaway that you're trapped in The Matrix.
