A recent post on xkcd. Great as usual.

Orient-Ation

Why I try to cut down my comments at other blogs

This painful truth about guys like me at xkcd:

Literary Criticism

The mouseover says: “I’m looking at you, Anathem”

Boy am I looking forward to reading that brick of a book. It’s sitting on the shelf watching me, to pounce on any bit of unguarded spare time.

Well put.

An older strip @ xkcd. As usual, click on picture to enlarge to readable size.

Postmodern Pancakery

xkcd delivers the best parody of House of Leaves I’ve ever read. Click on picture to enlarge. Hilarious.

Tous leurs trémolos

This @ xkcd:

There is a followup discussion @ the Bremer Sprachblog, which googlesearches for Gender differences. The results look pretty interesting but they aren’t really, as they could mean anything, depending on the premises. As the Bremer Sprachblog has not, apparently, invested time and effort into transforming the results into something truly interesting, and my own pitiful self does not have the time to do it, I will not post the graphs, since they will, at best, be misleading. Can’t really say why I mentioned them at all. Well. What’s done is done. (via)

No

A recent strip @ xkcd is wrong. The mouseover refers the reader to the wiki article on Deconstruction. If you don’t understand something try understanding it before you mock it, please. As always, click on picture to enlarge.
