Whew! Now THAT is some scathing commentary; I feel like I've just opened the door to a blast oven, fueled by contempt. (also, I'm amused/concerned that "ten hundred" had to replace "thousand")

I know Randall Monroe's pretty easy-going when it comes to reposting his stuff for commentary/etc, but you really should post credit and/or a link to the orginal. That's Monday's xkcd, at http://xkcd.com/1133/.

The bit under the nozzles cracked me up when I saw it yesterday.

My favorite part: "If it starts pointing toward space you are having a bad problem and you will not go to space today." :D

Looking at my post, I came off as a bit of a jerk; the only reason I brought it up was the fact that the image was embedded rather than a link to the source.

Yeah - he expects people to hotlink/embed. but i really should have credited it; my only defense if that i'm pretty sure i'd know where it came from if i saw it.

Well I'm glad you guys came back in with the link to the source...I don't follow that comic (or whatever it is :)), so I didn't know. :P

Well, if the favorites are being kept in alphabetical order, that's not going to be a problem... :geek:
