But of course they are.

I was jesting about Linkster's jesting request to reverse the links ... based on a weighted comparison of median percentages of converted clicks from added pages to converted clicks from gallery pages.

I guess that'll teach me to keep jokes simpler.

"One if by land and two if by sea" -- Israel Bissell

Listen my children and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.
He said to his friend, "If the British march
By land or sea from the town to-night,
Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch
Of the North Church tower as a signal light,--
One if by land, and two if by sea;
And I on the opposite shore will be,
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and farm,
For the country folk to be up and to arm."

Yep... that's H.W. Longfellow's take on the event. But good old Paul only rode 19 miles on his famous midnight ride. Israel Bissel rode 345 miles for four and half days, non-stop, to spread the word.

“Listen my children and you shall whistle,
At the amazing ride of Israel Bissell."

Yeah... not quite as catchy.
