I think this place needs a thread dedicated to xkcd comics - I'm always wanting to post the ones that make me chuckle, but don't really have a spot. Here it is...

Mouse-over text: Three headstones down, I got a call from my mom and it went from bad to worse.
It's not xkcd but I think it has the right flavor.

Shaun, that one about "Someone is wrong on the internet" has become an acronym - "I went all SIWOTI on some n00b last night on Bogley". That is one of my all time faves. If they had a T-shirt of that, I'd get it. I am considering this t-shirt:

or maybe (for the skeptic in me):

Don - sometimes the guy can totally do the wistful tear-to-the-eye thing. He can really nail it.
Shaun, I love both of those. Especially the zits on L337 dood's face. :haha:

Yeah, "been there, done that" to Don's post. This one hits home for me as a combination Math-geek and, well...guy.

I recently read a bit about island dwarfism in Richard Dawkins' The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution so this one seemed pretty funny this morning.

:roflol: I love that one! I just printed it for a lady I work with who really fits the character speaking first in that comic.

Hover text:
They actually started the reversed-text practice in 1973 -- not for ease-of-reading reasons, but because too many people were driving backward down the highway blasting the Star Wars opening theme.

Hover text: What'll I say -- "I was staring at some cat vomit when I got the news?"
Whenever people act all worried about me going canyoneering I explain that statistically I have a better chance of dying driving to or from work than in a canyon.
So I found this funny:

Good one. Reminds me of "Shattered Air", the book about the electrocutions on Half Dome.

For all the geeks frustrated by tech support dumb-down.

Hover text: I recently had someone ask me to go get a computer and turn it on so I could restart it. He refused to move further in the script until I said I had done that.

Hahahaa the funny thing about this is that I install these systems and pretty every one has a backdoor that takes you to tier two tech support. You can bypass the level 1 retard every time.

I don't know why but the part about cargo pants cracked me up, because I wear cargo pants to work everyday.
LMAO! I love that one! :roflol:

Ah, some excellent skepticism from xkcd:
http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/the_economic_argument.png
"Not to be confused with 'making money selling this stuff to OTHER people who think it works', which corporate accountants and actuaries have zero problems with."
Wow, that's even a good argument. I'm going to end up using this in a real discussion one day... :nod:
