Not to worry, Justin. I have the next version of WordPress. Which means, I guess . . .

Insert your obvious joke in the space below — if you have the ability.

  2. What was Boner the autocorrect of? We’ll leave aside the question why “Boner” is higher on the hierarchy of words Siri “thought” Justin intended to use. Unless he wants to tell us, of course. 😉

  3. I think it was “vulnerability”, split into a distortion of “vulner” and “ability”.

    hey, as long as artificial intelligence makes mistakes like this, we’re ahead of the curve.

  10. Pat, I understand if your website remains up for longer than four hours you’re supposed have a specialist take a look at it or permanent damage may result.

  11. I also wasn’t aware that Anthony Weiner was a software developer for WordPress but I suppose he has to do something now that he’s out of politics.

  12. The House of Representatives have a Boner Ability. So maybe WordPress was devoting
    that version to him.

  15. I took some medicine once that caused erections. The directions said “If erection persists for more than four hours, call your doctor”. It did, so I called my doctor. She said, “Wonderful. I’ll be right over.”

  17. If you find yourself blogging for more than four hours…

    Oh dang that joke is so old.
