“A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man”-
Jebediah Obadiah Zachariah Jedediah Springfield (aka Hans Sprungfeld) – 1796
Wow, that didn’t work. That was supposed to say <Insert predictable response involving the word “Cromulent” here.>
Aww they gave you a cool cross icon, I like mine but yours is close.
Did you know that “cromulent” has been adopted as an actual word?
What? It’d be a perfectly cromulent response.
That’s probably from Pat Rothfuss’s website (author of The Name of the Wind): http://patrickrothfuss.com/blog/blog.html
He always puts that on his images, it’s super cute.
Phil Plait (The Bad Astronomer) does that a lot, too.
i always use the word embiggen, this totally made my day too!
Someone on the internet has embiggened us all with this cromulent story!
Up for the short list in next year’s dictionary.
Sounds like Crazy Aunt Purl
Or the Yarn Harlot.
This made what was a really crappy day for me
personally i prefer the term “deshrinkiefy”
yeah – Pat Rothfuss! I love how he does that! -highfive-

Neil Gaiman and Wil Wheaton use “embiggen” as well.
Gizmodo does it too!
