P.S. I know it's incorrect to use 'crazy' as a noun. I just like the phrase "slice of crazy", OK?
The overuse and misuse of exclamation marks has been previously discussed with enthusiasm and significant literary skill by Dan.
When I saw this slice of crazy in our flickr group I just had to share it.

I think it was Terry Pratchett that wrote: "Multiple exclamation marks are a sure sign of a diseased mind."
I agree!!!!!!.
This looks like a sign I'd expect to see in China. They love the exclamation mark.
'Slice of crazy' sounds great, doesn't it? And don't worry: the use of 'crazy' as a noun is fine. It's simply an example of 'anthimeria', which means 'substituting one part of speech for another'.

A website (also written as web site) is a collection of web pages and related content that is identified by a common domain name and published on at least one web server. Notable examples are wikipedia.org, google.com, and amazon.com. All publicly accessible websites collectively constitute the World Wide Web. There are also private websites that can only be accessed on a private network, such as a company's internal website for its employees. Websites are typically dedicated to a particular topic or purpose, such as news, education, commerce, entertainment, or social networking. Hyperlinking between web pages guides the navigation of the site, which often starts with a home page. Users can access websites on a range of devices, including desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. The app used on these devices is called a web browser.
