This had me laughing and laughing for some reason when I first saw it… I mean, with stuff like that, I always wonder “what is the thought process that leads someone to try something like this for the first time?” (h/t CP)

Friday Fun Link – Analysing the Reading Level of the 21 Most Popular Sub-Reddits

Cool idea but not too many surprises on this list – the science sub-reddit is really high (just shy of grade 9 level) and the one for people who smoke pot is really low (just shy of grade 5 level).  Also nice to see /r/atheism come in as one of the top three most advanced […]
