just act like you know what you are doing
I have discussed Get Your War On here before, but these new GWYO animations are side splitting!
All I’ve gotta do is stay focused (and stop wearing pants)!
If you are unfamiliar with this series, it might be better to start with this one.
Warning: All the GYWO stuff uses language that is not safe for sensitive ears.

It falls, broadly, into the cut-and-paste category of comic. The interesting twist here is that David Malki ! uses 19th century engravings that he pulls from old books and stuff.  He then adds a little editing wizardry mixing them together, often with hilarous results.
Usually, however, the hilarity is just the text.
Another point that contrasts Wondermark from most of the webcomics that grace this space is that there is no continuity. The strips are all one-shots. That means you either laugh (or don’t) every time and then you move on. It also means the strip is ideally suited for newspapers.
The strip has been in production since 2003, so there’s plenty to keep you occupied for a few moments at a time all day.
And I particularly love the byline “An Illustrated Jocularity.”

That’s great, it starts with an earthquake…
For those of you who are in the dark (that’s a pun), jeff has been keeping tabs on the black-hole machine known as the Large Haldron Collider being built out at CERN in Switzerland. It goes live tomorrow for its first complete tests and you could, if you choose, be very excited or fearful of this idea.
Or you could shrug it off like a fatalist and say, “whatever.”
A number of people have, with varying levels of seriousness and science, warned about the possibility that this thing could create a black hole that sucks us all in. They’ve crowed about it to such an extent extent that CERN has felt compelled to publish published a LHC risk assessment (a fifteen-page .pdf, none of most of which goes well over my head) which states, in conclusion:
Having reviewed the theoretical and experimental developments since the previous safety report was published, we confirm its findings. There is no basis for any concerns about the consequences of new particles or forms of matter that could possibly be produced by the LHC.
Not concerned about the consequences of new particles or forms of matter? So why did you just spend six billion dollars to build it in the first place? Until proven otherwise, I’m firmly on the side of those cheering for this thing to wink out all existence in a subatomic instant. poof.

Meh.
It’s a word. It’s a sound. It’s an expression of near-apathy.
Definition of meh :.
(mÄ“’)
1. (n.) A multi-purpose response, primarily used to imply a degree of indifference. Tone of voice and circumstance often implies a meaning. Can be used when you don’t want to answer an awkward or embarrassing question, or if you just plain have nothing else to say, and you want the other person to interpret the “meh” however he/she chooses. As in: Q: “What do you think of my new dress?” A: “Meh.” or Q: “What do you want to do tonight?” A: “Meh.”
Thanks for pointing out this definition go to Cruel Dave who would be thrilled to know that I’m still tricking my friends into playing more than half-and-half of the games he taught me.

How to get out of the subway.
This weekend three new subway lines in Beijing will undergo testing to ensure they’re ready to carry passengers before crowds of olympians and fans descend upon the city. As you might expect, China is prepared with propaganda, including really cute pictorial description of how one should exit the station.
