xkcd.com is one of my favorite things for Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Sometimes, however, the artistry of the comic is beyond description. Today is one of those days.

Happy Autumnal Equinox!
I hope everyone is enjoying spending time today properly aligned with the Earth’s orbital plane. If you sit very still, you can almost feel the energistic miasma flowing around you. I feel like buying crystals today.
Bad Tree Day
It’s never good when the arborist that you invite to your house to look at the trees takes one look at the single most house-dangerous tree on the property and says, “Oh, that’s gotta go.” Apparently that tree is in piss-poor condition with all sorts of things wrong. Now, I get to see how much …
1,000th Post!
This is the One Thousandth Posting to the Evil Eyebrow! It seems only yesterday that I was writing the Pi’th anniversary entry. They grow up so fast [sniff]. I thought long and hard about what to do in celebration of this momentous event, discarding numerous drafts, staying up late at night, tearing my hair, rending …

Band Geeks Attend!
I hang out with a bunch of band geeks (full disclosure, I am not technically a band geek myself, but I squeak in by association). Those band geeks will appreciate today’s blog post by the Female Science Professor, who has a confession…
9-11 and Why We Should Move On
The various September 11th things that I hear on the radio or see on the TV bug me. Not because I think it’s wrong to remember the dead; I don’t have a problem with the Oklahoma City bombing memorials. No, it’s because the government and the news media have managed, in seven short years, to …
