The History of Funeratic
What started as a hobby has become an institution: Over a lifespan of more than twenty-eight years, Funeratic has gradually transformed from Scott Hardie's home page to a collection of web humor to an assortment of games to an online community to a web application for personal expression. Along the way, the site has changed the world around it, saving a life, launching a career, and bringing couples together.
Now, you are invited for a stroll down memory lane. This feature summarizes two hundred thirty-seven events that have turned the site into what it is today. Some of these are secrets being revealed for the first time as you read this. Up to ten new items are added every October on the site's anniversary.
