I liked this one, but only because I am not a fan of determinism.

^^ seriously. I hate it when people actually argue that. Seems like a thinly veiled attempt to create an excuse for feeling sorry for yourself and not having to try to achieve anything.

Anyway:

And a rambling story that's somehow entertaining to me:

Who the f*ck writes that comic? The last one is an eerily accurate description of something that happened to me in college. I visited my girlfriend, met her parents, she broke up with me, banged another guy, and then tried to get back together with me.

The comic on predestination annoyed me because the guy appears to collect mashed potatoes in his cup and then ends up pouring water on the girl.

You know that she was washing the dishes, right?

Well, since this topic leans to the geeky, this might fit in:

I know this isn't a comic but I don't know where else to put this:

I've thought about making a topic for sketches. I'm kinda worried it will literally be just me posting in that one though.

In the meantime:

Does anyone read The Trenches, the unholy union of Scott Kurtz of PVP and Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins of Penny Arcade? It's the story of video game testers, and the comic also runs stories from testers.

Here's a few recent ones:

I don't get it.

Could somebody kindly explain?

Yeah, same here. Durn't understand, head hurts.

^^ @3 is prolly the best argument for intelligent design that anyone has come up with yet.

Winston Rowntree of Singularity Comics/Subnormality (viruscomix.com) posted a new article on Cracked about songs and misunderstood science.

Here are the comics:

Paula Abdul's "Promise of a New Day":


Hedley's "Perfect"


Faith Hill's "This Kiss"


Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams"


Vanessa Williams' "Save the Best for Last"

I like the tooltips on this site as well. (xkcd uses them, too.)

To be fair. Theoretical computer scientists will be pretty high up there in terms of uselessness.

Seriously, abstruse goose might as well be a parallel for my life (without the science and math).

You forgot the alt-text picture thing:

Ah yeah, thanks!
