Whoever has been posting links to this wonderful site. Thank you, I'm in love now.

Isn't it great?!? But try showing it to a non-science geek - you'll get a blank stare.
 


That's not out of the ordinary. I find mouth breathers always give me blank stares.
 


I just realized I have to send it to last year's science teacher, he'd love it, as well as my previous science teacher before him.

You HAVE to send this to Keller


I love this comic. It's possibly the best comic in the world. As far as art quality goes... um... well that doesn't matter anyways.
 


Lol, yeah I sent it to Keller and my previous teacher, Watson.
 


I love the random button!

I think xkcd has more than 461 comics because I procrastinate using that random button (and I have spent hours clicking it and still getting newer comics)

and also love those comments that become visible on mouse over.
 


Hmm, I'll have to check out those comments, I never noticed that.Woohoo, yesterday was my 16th birthday...
