One of the internet's best secret weapons is Twitter's favorites button, which few people seem to use but is really great for helping you file away those bursts of genius that get easily lost among all the clutter. Below are some of my favorite tweets ever.

MrsStephenFry - Stephen looks so lovely when he's asleep. I just want to smother him with love. Or anything else near to hand. MrsStephenFry - Stephen & I decided to drown our sorrows, but apparently the canal has a strict no children policy.
