Why did I find this page amusing before I even read it?

Hard to tell. Maybe you had used some chemicals that made you regard
everything as amusing? That still wouldn't explain why you used a URL with a
superfluous "." appended and why you wrote the Subject line "Blog design",
while the page is about a person ("About Jakob Nielsen").

Nostalgia? Nielsen has been a joke since some time in the '90s.

This is what happens when you encourage the myth that usability is hard
and must be left in the hands of gurus.
