My brain went up to eleven just now.

Very sudden nearly brain-breaking realization:
In 'This Is Spinal Tap', Christopher Guest played Nigel Tufnel, who coined the infamous quote "These go to eleven!" which has spawned countless parodies and satires. In 'The Princess Bride", Christopher Guest played Count Rugen, who had six fingers on his right hand, which made all his fingers... go up to eleven. Also, Rugen keeps edging up the numbers on The Machine, with Humperdinck shoving it up to twenty in the book and fifty in the film, with Rugen yelling "Not to fifty!" or "Not to twenty!"
Somebody please tell me that this was a completely intentional thing, because I have loved 'The Princess Bride' both film and book and 'This is Spinal Tap', since I was a child, and I never, ever, ever made that connection until just right now.

(I hate math, but I have this little OCD thing with numbers where certain numbers mean great things. I with hyperfocus on numbers like a motherfucker, but give me a math problem and watch my brain actually skid completely off its tracks with disastrous explosive screaming death results; it's apparently rather entertaining.)

Speaking of hyperfocus:

I have decided to read the shit out of that entire page and every little connected page. Every tab, every button, every link. I'm in pain and not at all tired.

Also, I had absolutely no idea about the origins of the My Little Pony "Brony" phenomenon until this helpful video:

And now I cannot stop playing this:

I hear Katy Perry did a similar song. I like this one better.
