I like the puns and the visual style a lot but the randomisation sucks balls: I've seen the one about the spider and his website three times in a row, plus multiple repeats of many others. Can you implement a proper deck of cards style shuffle for them to avoid repeats?

I've changed the randomness in there a bit. It now starts at a random position but it continues sequentially from there.
I'm guessing that the problem isn't necessarily the randomization, but that there's not very many puns in the pool to begin with.
It's on my todo list, along with better transitions and an option for list view
Also not copy-pastable, how shall I entertain the masses on IRC, boo! :)
That's not by design really, I was just lazy in fixing a highlighting bug :) Maybe screenshot until I fix it?
