What's an Oxford comma and why is it in need of saving?

The Oxford comma is the last comma in something like this: apples, oranges, and bananas. Which can also be written by heathens as: apples, oranges and bananas. This can lead to funny confusion, as in the case of the person who dedicated their book to "my parents, the Pope and God".

Oh. Then I totally amend my vote to include saving the Oxford comma. Because when I see things without it all I can think is "WRONG! Completely wrong, you stupid person, you."

Yes, Sir, all of the above, Sir (especially the Oxford comma - jolly good show whatwhat).

p.s. *points and giggles at those Batman icons* Are those actual untampered dialogue-bubbles, or are they tampered with? :P Either way, tee hee hee.
