Correlation is the New Causation
Correlation is the new causation or so the internet seems to be jibing people about that, two great links that hit the same heart beat, one a little more tongue and cheek and the other trying to make a point.
Alright, I'm sure I made some logical fallacies in there weakening my position on the subject, but the internet agrees with me so neener-neener-neener.
The first, SMBC from this weekend: http://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=3129#comic.
The second being an infographic or comic on the "evil's" of comic books: http://www.tor.com/stories/2013/09/bad-for-you-scientific-method
There is something on the third page about a book called Captain Underpants being banned in 10/25 school libraries, which absolutely shocked me, as it both innocuous and a great early reader. Using pictures to help prompt the student to read from context. Anyways I can happily say that our local school provides a vast variety of books including a limited selection of current comics. I suppose I have a bias towards comics, but I think as Harry Potter demonstrated, anything that can help children realize that reading is good is well good. (Never mind all that witch craft hooey.)

Twas the Night Before the Heart and Stroke Ride for Heart
Well folks, it is just a few hours to go before the Heart and Stroke Ride for Heart, and I just wanted to chime in with a last post. Thanks to a generous donation from my parents, who have had more cause than most this year to support the Heart and Stroke Foundation, I have passed my goal of $1000.00 this year. Thanks for one of my long time supporters, it is $1000.42 to be exact. So a HUGE thanks to all my amazing donors!
Erin is still down below her goal, I think many of you know we have been a touch busy for all of May, so it has spared you a lot of fundraising spam. All things being said, she is doing amazing, and I know it has all come in the last week for sure. Still we would love to have you guys push her over the top. So here is Erin's Donor Link. You can also track her progress with this handy badge!
