I've been reading XKCD for a few years (I've got the 'stand back I'm trying Science' shirt, the tie, and Randal's latest book 'What If?', which is a great read) and I found this extension for chrome called XKCD subtitutions, which not only substitutes words on your browser from his suggestions to make reading the news more fun (substituting rebuild for avenge, smartphone to pokedex, senator to elf-lord, election to eating-contest, etc) but allows you to add your own substitutions to the list. A few I've added is changing president to Supreme Mugwump, physics to technomancy, quantum to magical, gun to rooty-tooty-point-and-shooty, drone to robot overlord, and senate to high elf council, and obama to dumbledore. It makes reading the news and wikipedia articles so fun, and it's really easy to turn on and off. Has anyone tried this extension here, or read xkcd?

Never heard about it.
*installs and looks how it works*
EDIT: there's no similar extension for Firefox Sad
Oh well, it seems to be fun from your words. So, have fun!
