xkcd pwns teh internets

By on May 2, 2007

I don’t know why any of us are even bothering to pretend that xkcd is not our new insect overlord (except for Cory Doctorow, who escaped in that bloody balloon).

Excuse me. I have to go and save that map, open it up in Photoshop and expand it so that I can read all the labels.

I want an anthropomorphic dragon.

    I see it’s a case of the dreaded careful-what-you-wish-fors.

    I obviously need to specify the serene and stylish (don’t forget kewl) sensei type anthropomorphic dragon, not the comic-relief bumbling sidekick type anthropomorphic dragon.

    Although, that one looks like he’s singing the blues – choices, choices.

    re: xkcd: I desperately love this one for some reason.

    Chris, I know a few others who are peculiarly attached to that one too, for some strange reason.
