Bugs encountered a genie once, you see. The genie granted him a wish: he asked for a carrot. No, wait: two carrots. It’s the same basic principle:
A smart basic principle, too.

Observation of the Day, HEED THIS WARNING edition.
Seriously: heed this.
I’m going to need a print of this xkcd comic.
I don’t know on what wall it’s going on, but it should go up on a wall somewhere.

Yeah, I’m in an aggravated mood tonight.
Can’t imagine why. Oh, right:
http://xkcd.com/386/
So I’m going to ratchet it back a few points, I think. No sense in popping a blood vessel. …I assume.
This comic will make no sense to people two hundred years from now.
Well, at least the alt-text won’t:
Or possibly it will make sense, but only to scholars of Middle-Late First Republic American history. Who will be like all scholars everywhere: to wit, slightly depressed that nobody gets their more erudite jokes.
This xkcd comic is doing its best to sell me on The Martian.
Or at least convince me to convince my wife to go see it.
Had to do that with Iron Man. “Honey. HONEY! Go see the movie. I’ll watch the kids. Yes, I know you don’t watch movies. This is about heroic engineering. Trust me on this.” …And then she came back, and conceded that I was right. It was a glorious moment.
Today’s xkcd is strangely addictive.
I’ve already done two or three. I’ve also discovered that I seem to draw better with a mouse in my right hand, but write better with a mouse in my left hand. I find this very interesting.

I like this thought.
Still feel weird hotlinking it, even though Randall Munroe makes it extremely, explicitly easy to do so. Guess it’s a learned reflex on my part. …And, sorry, no, I’m not going to make a ‘technically’ joke. Not even the meta one.

Randall Munroe’s What If? is out in book form!
Randall Munroe’s (of xkcd fame) What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions is just what the title says. It’s a very entertaining online series; it’s a real shame that I didn’t get a review copy to review :coughcoughCOUGH: because it may be a bit before I can pick it up.
Also: today’s xkcd is utterly mad.
xkcd might have a point, here.
I have to admit: the sketch and the photo do match up fairly well.
