I'm curious about the origin of this alternate spelling. Was it a one-off coining? Was it deliberate, or an accident of ignorance? Is there a community of self-identifying weezards in the area?

Doesn't it just mean that "Wizard", "Wizzard", "Wezard", "Wezzard", and Wiizard" were already taken?

I think that would be a Whiz-ard.

I would totally dress as a wizard if I was in a ska band.

I was wondering whether that was an intentional Idle Thumbs thing or a coincidence (which is highly likely).

I decided to see what Instagram is all about, since it's apparently the most popular thing in the universe, and I took this picture. I feel like it belongs here:

The old IBM presentation thing used as a backdrop for the idlethumbs twitter, made me suddenly remember the fantastic SICP lectures from MIT. Lisp wizardry, Hal Abelson wearing a wizard hat, mid 80ies, and a somewhat goofy special-effect-thing around the 3m mark, and a synth/midi/something-intro that'll make you cringe.

If you do dabble in programming, I would actually recommend the whole lecture series.

The lecture might go well with a bottle of Lonely Wizard.

A couple of friends and I made a YouTube video of the various wizard based hijinks we got up to in Trine 2's excellent internet multiplayer. Look out for a sweet wizard flip at

Because Toblix continues to do these things and they never make any sense.
