Comic Monday   

JoAnne at 4:27 pm, August 7th, 2006

This comic is making the blog rounds today (via Clifford via Pharyngula):

In fact, you’ve probably seen it at least 5 times by now! It’s from the xkcd site, which is self-described as a webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language, written by Randall Munroe, a physicist working at NASA Langley. I’ve just spent some serious time browsing the site and have been laughing hysterically. (In fact, since I’m sitting in my office alone, I think the guys on my floor are now completely convinced that I’m a bit “off,” if they didn’t already know it!) I can’t resist sharing a few more gems from the site (which explicitly states that is ok):

Ok, ok….I’ll stop now….

Oh - just one more!

    […] Luckily, JoAnne of Cosmic Variance noticed the post, and after reading more of the site (and, from what it sounds like, being overcome with mirth) she posted a few more of them, which came to my notice just now via a pingback.

    The “miss your loved ones?” comic reminded me of an old Emo Philips routine:

    “Before I left for college, my dad said, ‘You know, son, I’m going to miss you.’ I said, ‘I know; that’s because I broke the sights off your shotgun.’”

    From a different strip, but I like this comic. (Helps to have seen “Good Will Hunting”.)

    Vulcan - wanna Mind meld babes
    Composer - let me hum sweet nothings in your ear
    Don Juan, or Byron poet - let me whisper sweet nothings in your ear
    String Theorist - let me whisper TOE in your ear, and become Unified
    Caveman - hubba hubba hubba … … hubba hubba hubba … … hubba
    Simpsons fan - Madge we got any more salami and icecream
    Zen Master - … … … … … tell me more!
    Physics Master — pure simple raw (unadulterated) energy

    The Schrödinger one has become the decoration of my 2 doors ;-) I think it fitted the footnote on my homepage really well …
