Randall Munroe vs. Bill Watterson
I think Randall Munroe has been reading Calvin and Hobbes recently.
Tell me I’m wrong (although the second one is explicit).

"In the House of the Seven Librarians"
I listened to the Podcastle story, In the House of the Seven Librarians today. This is a story about a magical library and its seven librarian attendants who raise a foundling girl.
About three-quarters of the way through the story, the narrator describes a list of rules that have been scratched down, in various hands, over time. My favorite was:
“Do not play Nine Hundred eighty-two card pickup with the p to q drawer, or any other.”
I can just imagine the mess.

Superuseless Superpowers
Currently my most favorite link in the feed reader is:
Superuseless Superpowers! Check it out.
And my favorite of the powers?
There’s a special ability in taking something that is cosmically insane and making it hilariously funny.

Comment Spam (again)
I’ve been getting a flurry of comment spam again. Amusingly, it is mostly hitting another of my posts that jokes about comment spam.

This is Totally Me
I saw this T-Shirt and started chuckling uncontrollably (if that’s not an oxymoron).
In honor of the Evil Eyebrow I present a more popular venue for self expression.

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

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 my breast, etc. This was to be the 1,000th edition of my signature blog; it must reek of what the blog is all about.
Therefore, I present to you a way to capture all that The Evil Eyebrow stands for:
Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn’t seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services.
He gasps: “My friend is dead! What can I do?”
The operator says: “Calm down, I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.”
There is a silence, then a shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says: “OK, now what?”That is the world’s funniest joke.
Here’s to 1,000 more entries for the Eyebrow!
