The Snowclones Database
The Snowclones Database is a good demonstration of what should be a Rule of the Internet: If there are more than a half dozen variations of a thing, there will be a blog or wiki detailing these variations.
The site’s an enumeration of phrases like, “if there is an X there is Y of it,” (which I just made up!) — and then the blogar people of Snowclones.org go ahead and try to determine as many varieties of that phrase as they can from Google, and some kind of perl script apparently. The Snowclones.org crew work all the way through such important formulations as “In Soviet Russia, X Ys you” and I for one welcome our X overlords, and produce a pretty entertaining site. Although, I’m all the way finished reading it now, and I’m not sure how much material there is for them yet to discover.
NB: The best-known Rule of the Internet is of course #34 — If you can imagine it, there is porn of it, no exceptions.
And also:
35. If no porn is found of it, it will be created.
36. No matter what it is, it is somebody’s fetish. No exceptions.
