Other people will recognize it. It's not just popular here, but throughout a lot of the internet.

Can someone explain the history behind that smiley, do people like it just because it's so happy?

So you've probably seen this around: I've been wondering where the smiley came from for a while now (keeps me up most nights), and over the last couple days today I've done some digging to find out its history. As :awesome: is part of the emoticon set for the f13 forums, I began by asking

I phail at life.

I phail at life.
