Friendly note: It's piqued, not peaked. Used to make the same mistake myself. Pique means: "stimulate (interest or curiosity)."

To say that your interest peaked, means the article went down hill from that point on :P

And yeah, I read that joke in one of Ze Frank's voices: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFzz6EZmkq8)

There needs to be some kind of corrective list. "Commonly misspelled words online". I've noticed increasing prevalence of certain misspellings on the internet, and I fear they will reach critical mass and start building momentum.

- wreak/wreck

- weary/wary

- piqued/peaked

My favorite is "wreckless", as in "wreckless driving". One should hope that all driving is wreckless.
