what exactly does this closure get you?

Nothing. I'm just following the 140byt.es rules.

heh, which rule is that exactly? this would do, no?

function(a){return new Option(a).innerHTML}

Oh it seems you're right, now that I've actually read the rules. I'll fork the 140byt.es thing and make a new submission.

no need, i'll edit mine!

of course you'll get credit! i'll tweet it up too.
