Physics and the End of the World
This one goes out to all the physics geeks out there. (Applied Engineering Physics counts too, Jing Qing)
Imagine if your date was wearing THIS!
Be sure to visit xkcd to read the tool tip, it’s extra hilarious.
I think Randall’s back in form after some especially abstract comics.
How the sciences see each other

thanks to Randall Monroe’s use of the Creative Commons, enjoy this great twist on the comic by Mark Pilgrim.
Mistranslations in the Kama Sutra
If you’ve ever looked at a reprint of the Kama Sutra, I think you’ll agree that reading it without being careful can lead to some interesting things. Such as this:
Philosophizing on the Move can lead to trouble
The plot twist at the end is awesome, but so is the programmer’s debate going on, especially since we were talking about this at work this week. Another great xkcd from Randall Monroe:
sudo make me a sandwhich

I think that the single largest source of mirth at the Thanksgiving dinner was Dan’s xkcd tshirt. Dan and I were the only ones who knew what this meant. Dave was the only other person capable of grasping it. Everyone else kept asking Dan to explain the shirt over and over. No matter how many ways he tried to do it, the response was always “I don’t get it”. Later on the response was a sarcastic “OK”. Later on in the evening/night everyone was sudo ordering people to do things even though they had no idea what that meant. The person who was ordered to do something would invariably answer “OK!” IT was hilarious and maddening at the same time.
