Bookmarklet to create a printable version of a Markdown file on GitHub. Create a bookmark in your toolbar with this code as the URL, then click the bookmark while viewing a Markdown document (like a README) on GitHub to strip away the rest of the page for a clean, printable version. Or, if what I just said sounded scary, visit this page: http://…
javascript:(function(){ document.body.innerHTML = document.getElementById("readme").getElementsByTagName("article")[0].outerHTML; })();

Bookmarklet, when executed on a google search results page it will cycle through everything in search_terms[] and record the suggestions to a big JSON object. After it cycles through all the terms, it will replace the document HTML with the stringified JSON. Minify it before using it.
(function(){
//get jQuery
if (window.jQuery === undefined) {
var done = false;
var script = document.createElement("script");
script.src = "http:////ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js";
script.onload = script.onreadystatechange = function(){
if (!done && (!this.readyState || this.readyState == "loaded" || this.readyState == "complete")) {
done = true;

JavaScript function for stitching two arrays with overlapping ends into a single array (e.g. [1,2,3] and [3,4,5] into [1,2,3,4,5]).
function stitch(s1,s2) {
var l1 = s1.length;
var l2 = s2.length;
if (!l1) return s2;
if (!l2) return s1;
if (s2[0] == s1[l1-1]) return s1.concat(s2.slice(1));
