There are lights

Always funny, XKCD is the master of graph jokes. My personal favourite is "There are lights" which is obviously a reference to probably one of Patrick Stewart's finest episodes of Star Trek, and an all around top ten episode in its own right.

The moment their arms spun freely in our air, they were doomed -- for Man has earned his right to hold this planet against all comers, by virtue of oc

Channeling the Old Admerial

It's a trap!

Some Perspective on Height

Oh, Pluto, Why Won't the Leave You Be

Erin's Fear

More comic goodness

XKCD is just really great at capturing that inexplainable essence of the thing, and today was no exception.

Every Damn Morning:

On the Rain Slick Precipice of Wednesday

So in the months of not paying attention this game has slowly crawled forth from the primordial code to it's immanent release date. I can't wait, especially with the triple threat digital download to PC/Mac/360 all on one day (and I think but am not sure one price gets you all three.)

In the mean time, Biofilm and Super Smash Brothers will have to distract me, oh yeah, and biking, babies, and work.


Anyways I shall see you all on the Rain Slick Precipice of Darkness, cheerio!

This One is For Grandma, Who is Doing Better then the Purple Ninja

Indeed, nature does not wait...

Garfield Minus Garfield

Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life?
Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against lonliness and methamphetamine addiction in a quiet American suburb.

Yes again the internet hath provided something odd...

Death Ray?

Okay, so I've posted a bunch of XKCD comics in here, and when I thought the XKCD comic was the pinnacle of science funny, I was wrong, it was the XKCD blag (yes blag not blog...)

Here are a series of images, from said blag, that without explanation make little to no sense, but with the addition of the associated blag post, are freaking hilarious!

Now I know your curious :)

This one even looks like Loki...

I LOL'd

This one is just genuinely gamer funny, without any context required.

Web Comic

Doing a little house keeping around here, might even do an overhaul soon to make it look purty. First up the easy stuff, dumped Get Fuzzy and Pet Pro from the linkage. PetPro I think is dead, or near enough, and Get Fuzzy stopped being funny, both of them leave me so apathetic as to not bother linking either.

Next up I reordered some junk since periodic seems more frequent than weekly, I swapped sections, Fox Trot got moved down to Weekly, and XKCD got added. XKCD bills its self as: A web comic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language. All true, and all funny, its light on art, but even in its stickily way its better then what I can do. So I enjoy its clean sharp lines. :)

Also my Penny Arcade swag arrived, including John Gabriel's famous theorem, and 'the code.' I also highly recommend you listen to Wil Wheaton's keynote from PAX07. One year, when I'm old and curmudgeonly like Wil (at somewhere between 35-40) I hope to have the same kind of relationship with my kids as he has with his. I suppose I had better get to having those kids sooner or later.

Speaking of swag, I'm giddy with the power of fitting now that I have lost all this weight, suddenly the world of internet wit pasted on to t's is at my power. So I will proceed with prudence, but I may furnish myself with yet more witty Internet t's. Perhaps my old time favorite "ale's and whore's."

Erin and I have been enjoying Bioshock and Guitar Hero 2, Erin is a spectator more to Bioshock, but is quickly becoming a guitar virtuoso. To setup some context for those who haven't a) played Bioshock, or its demo, b) don't troll in internet circles about video games, Bioshock is a game set in a McCarthy era earth, in an underwater utopia, gone wrong. The founder of this city an Andrew Ryan believes in unfettered science and a meritocracy, at least that is what it appears, unfortunately the definition of merit slips as science gives individuals the power to rewrite their own DNA to give them powers (usually shooting forth from the left arm.)

Such powers may include lightening, telekinesis, frost, or fire.

All that being said, this mornings Ctrl-Alt-Del is pleasantly amusing, if not potty humour.



Well thats all this train has time for, I have a post in the pipe I may wrap on lunch, or perhaps on the ride home.

Cheers

ps yes more stuff is coming from Italy, I did spend more then 4 days there.

What do they think about?

John Gabriel, Master of the Interwebs

This is a t-shirt that I must have, I am oft quoting his original less wearable theorem, and shall now ware it proudly.

Random Fun

In my on going commentary, Ctrl-Alt-Delete does the worst continuity, and some of the funniest one offs. Case in point:

True Dat

More comic piracy, but truth is told!
