this week's What If?
http://what-if.xkcd.com/69/ ___________________________ "I've always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific." - George Carlin  Timote Wrote:this week's What If?"Living users will always generate more data than dead ones" -- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of the same sovereign, servants of the same law." - Michael Ignatieff, addressing Stanford University in 2012
Aargh - the best line is the punchline... so we'll just have to go with this instead:
"In a blow to its national pride, the US has lost that record. Sometime in the last few years, the magazine Top Gear commissioned Honda to build them an even faster lawnmower." -- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of the same sovereign, servants of the same law." - Michael Ignatieff, addressing Stanford University in 2012 
"...or 6 acres, or 2.5 hectares, or 7,500 square fathoms, or 8,500 square smoots, or 5,300 Shrouds of Turin."
-- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. 
Look at the mower's brand name in the very last picture.
----- Big Brother is watching you. And damn, you are so bloody BORING.
"700 watts is about a horsepower, so if you want to boil tea in two minutes, you'll need at least one horse to stir it hard enough."
-- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of the same sovereign, servants of the same law." - Michael Ignatieff, addressing Stanford University in 2012

Oops! Fixed.

'"Supernovas" is also fine. "Supernovii" is discouraged.'

"If it's going fast enough, a feather can absolutely knock you over."
Huh, either Mr. Munroe is a member of Spacebattles.com or they are soon going to claim he is. Also "Dude, again? Can you just pitch like a normal person?"
Did we miss a week? (goes and looks) I only see one page up since the last post, two weeks ago - the page was updated later in the day than I checked it, I suppose. So I assume this would be last week's page:
"That's a lot, certainly. For example, it's enough to fill every house and apartment in the US to a depth of 12 inches: Eww." -- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of the same sovereign, servants of the same law." - Michael Ignatieff, addressing Stanford University in 2012
"BRB. Searching Amazon for 'floor-length straw'."
-- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak.
My hypothesis was correct - today's column was posted after my usual check-the-weekly-pages time.

Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of the same sovereign, servants of the same law." - Michael Ignatieff, addressing Stanford University in 2012
"MEET SINGLE FERRETS IN YOUR AREA TONIGHT"
-- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak.
Image text: "If my 9th grade English teacher is reading, ignore this, I TOTALLY understand that verse."
-- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of the same sovereign, servants of the same law." - Michael Ignatieff, addressing Stanford University in 2012
"Well, they say to write what you know."
(I'm sorry, for personal/professional reasons that one almost sent me literally ROTFL.) Edit: Out of curiosity, I followed the link to goodreads.com and put in my name. I am quite gratified to see that nothing I wrote had less than 3 stars... -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak.
"http://what-if.xkcd.com/77/]According to the National Center for Health Statistics, the average newborn's height (length) is approximately 0.5 meters,or 0.56 meters in heels. or a quarter of the diameter of the Death Star thermal exhaust port."

"What do you mean 'against the rules'? Your team has a freakin' golden retriever!"
"http://what-if.xkcd.com/78/]However, this ignores immigration—and, more importantly, emigration, which would probably increase substantially in this scenario."

"Asking Britain to go without electricity for 20 days just to fill one of their lakes with tea seems like it might be a hard sell."

I don't know. The British may not be the most hardcore teadrinkers, but they can certainly come close.
"Not a significant source of Riboflavin". Might well be chock-full of anti-Riboflavin, though...
