"Q: What is the 'Apostrolypse'?
A: The 'Apostrolypse' is a term for the cataclysmic and final collapse of our planet brought on by the misuse of apostrophe by illiterate people, viz., death by apostrophe. Think of it as worse than nuclear fallout: suffocation of all living organisim's by the relentles's rain of gratuitou's apostrophe's, swelling up as toxic aerial miasma... Variant theory: "Apostroluge," or global destruction by deluge; all air-breathing terrestrial creatures are inundated by apostrophes and die, reminiscent of Noah's flood except that there's no boat." from here

Other cool stuff
Peepo is a really interesting search engine for the developmentally disabled. I can see it being great for kids, too. I'm especially fond of their recipe for donuts. (Click on the photo to get to the next step.) When you go through the flapjack recipe, it speaks each ingredient as you see the photo. (I must admit they don't look like any flapjacks I've ever seen, though.)
