You Mean You Didn't Know It Was Trogday?
When it comes to burninating, few on the Internet are better — or better-known — than Trogdor, the s-shaped dragon with the beefy human arm coming out of his neck for good measure. As revealed by our no. 26 top link, today is Trogdor's third birthday , and the burninating is still goin' strong. The third-birthday celebration has pictures of the beast sent in by fans and a snippet from the original Strong Bad cartoon where he first appeared. Strong Bad is another character who's managed to achieve as much currency as Trogdor, although if you watch the cartoon where he creates Trogdor, you'll wonder how he can hold a pencil with his boxing-glove hands. Bloggers, of course, are responding to Baddie and Troggie. He's "one of the great viral entities of the Internet," says this blogger. Are there cooler animated characters out on the Web? Maybe, but their burninating is insufficient by comparison.
