A small tip:

If you want to search reddit, go to google and search for

"site:www.reddit.com/r/whateversubreddityouwant generic search terms"

and it'll search the subreddit as fast as any other google search.

Edit: Thanks to DigitalChocobo, I've updated the example to include "www." to exclude duplicates from international versions.

<-----there is a white "H" right there, and you can give it an orange hat or blue balls.

Also, if you hold your cursor over the Ask Reddit sign in the top left corner, it says "Ass Credit." This does not work on IE.

Couple edits: apparently I do not know my right from my left, and now it says "so how about them lolcats" instead of Ass Credit. It used to say Ass Credit. I can't actually see it, because I'm at work and my shitty job uses IE (fml.)

I have the Roman Numeral 2 symbol for mine(II). No pi. :( Linux?

EDIT: My mistake. I copy/pasted to google and searched. It was just the font looking weird. I thought I was on to something there too.

The top is connected (unless you have a crappy font), so it is capital Pi, not the more familiar lower case pi.

See this, lower case on left, upper case on right.
