Or, you know, it could be because G and B are kinda close to each other on the keyboard. |

"Grignr"? Tell me that's some sort of bizarre typo or something.
I once read a fanfic with the line "Your a stupid hor".  |

| Perhaps an ancestor of Brisingr?
Seriously, there's also a deity called Mrifk. The Eye of Argon is pretty amazing; there's a reason why reading it out loud without laughing is a competitive sport at some science fiction conventions. I wrote about its thesaurus abuse on my blog a while back -- that famous entry that also involved me attempting to draw. |

| Ooh, I forgot to mention the person who inserted an extra A in a strategic place in the name of a character named Martin the Warrior. Yep, "Martian the Warrior". Somehow I doubt the tapestry of the famous warrior saint would have the same impact if he was bright green and had feelers.
And then there was a fic entitled "Harry Potter and the Twelve Legendary Worriers". Methinks legendary *warriors* would be more useful. |

Do you have any idea what "mink" was supposed to say because I'm stumped.  |

I loled at this. That would actually make a good title for a satire. I once saw a humorous typo in the prayer in the church program. What the minister meant to say was, "Shine through us and show us the way." Instead, because of too much reliance on spellcheck, it came out, "Whine through us and show us the way." |

My guess would be "minx." Older word for a woman who, depending on your interpretation, was either just an outrageous flirt or a slut. |

| I'm guessing they meant "monk" for "mink" - Shinto monk since it's an anime continuum. As for whining Jesus, is anyone else here familiar with Ghastly's Ghastly Comic and its character Drunk and Bitter Jesus? |
