Looking for a chuckle or two and some reality at the same time?  Then you may want to go check out the Alternative Webmaster Glossary at a U.K. based website called Experienced People

The glossary smacks of satire and sarcasim but what makes it great is the trueness of the humor.  For instance my two favorite deffinitions from it were,

"CPC: Cost Per Click. In Google Adwords a complex formula is used. A function of the CTR relating to the keyword value of your chosen search terms compared with CTRs of competing ads is plugged into a formula involving other variables and constants including, we understand, the value of Pi. You are then charged whatever the hell they want to charge you".

Now see what I mean?  Honestly can anyone, even Eric Schmidt explain how Google decides exactly how much you are going to pay per click?  Then there is this little gem,

"SEO: Search Engine Optimisation/Optimiser. The Americans seem to think it stands for Search Engine Optimization…but they also think footballs aren't round and that the Earth is flat. Ignore them. Search Engine Optimisation is the art of pissing off the search engines by - ironically - making your site more SE friendly".

So for those two quirky snaps and about 40 more, give Experienced People a visit,
