OK, so if I told you there is a YouTube video of someone drawing John Locke's face on an egg using his computer, would that be worth a post? OK, maybe not. Suppose I told you that video was the third most-watched video of the day on YouTube as I write this? Still not so much? OK, how about the fact that there exists an entire genre of YouTube "speed painting" videos capturing in fast-motion people's various doodlings in Photoshop and other art programs? Really? Well, what if I added that there is apparently an entire subgenre within that genre solely of people rendering the hard-boiled face of Lost's favorite spiritual-questing former paraplegic?

Fine. Forget I said anything.
