Handy punctuation guides...

 I noticed my brother was a Facebook fan of something called 'The Oatmeal'. Since the icon was a dinosaur holding a balloon, I had to have a look.

Not only is there a lot of funny stuff there (How twilight works, How to tell if your cat is plotting to kill you), some of it is actually quite useful:

When to use a semicolon

How to use an apostrophe

Oh Oh! Semicolons! I have been reading about them in the Panda book and now I am addicted to them again.

There's an awesome Coffee thingy on there too, I'm hoping they'll make a poster of it sometime soon...

I'm not a big fan of the semi-colon. I'm not sure why. I don't think there are any semi-colon-related traumas lurking in my past. (Love the George Washington part of the coffee thingy. :))

I've seen the punctuation ones, but never the Twilight one. Damn, that's funny.

That one practically made me cry. :)
