Futility Now

Catulog

I have been reading Lovecraft on Wikisource. At some point early in this endeavor (before I had put 2 and 2 together to realize that Wikisource’s URLs would be just like Wikipedia’s) I tried to search for “wikisource lovecraft” in Firefox’s built-in search bar. As you may or may not know, the FF search bar tries to offer helpful suggestions once you start typing text into it. Once you get to about “wikis” it has suggested “wikisource,” which is pretty much par for the course, but the second suggestion is “wikisource catullus.”

Now I know that this probably (which is to say, almost certainly) means that most people who go to Wikisource are taking a Latin class, but deep down I’d like to think the world is full of people seeking the most venal and lurid pornography that antiquity has to offer.
