One morning I woke up in New Zealand to a Kiwi shouting at all of us .... "Last one up gets the ugly sheep" Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Burnout. One way to get rid of an older tire that is losing it's tread. But probably not the most environment-friendly way. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

I once bought a map of the world from Australia. It had a big yellow square in the lower right that said "World Map". It was right on top of where New Zealand should have been. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

I dunno, I seem to have more trouble chasing 20-year olds now than I did when I was 20. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

For one thing, the EU told Serbia there would be no talks about adoption into the Union until Mladic was arrested. It was a difficult decision by them because of his popularity; one poll reporting that 78 percent of Serbs would not report Mladic to the authorities, 34 percent said they would approve of Mladic's arrest, and 40 percent believing he is a hero. Edit for non-globalization of fonts. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Beg to differ. Bought you and Remi dinner at the 17th Ave Bar and Grill. The ex was there, too. In fact, I think one or two other jumpers were there, and I bought for everyone. Just goes to show how much some people appreciate my generosity The above picture is disqualified, because the person that is presumed to be myself has his eyes closed. Therefore, a distinct identification cannot be made. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Rocket surgery isn't so bad. Unless you have to remove their asteroids. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

I only ever ate with my ex-wife, and I always paid. One night, I proposed splitting the bill with her. She whined about how much of an asshole I was, and told me she knew that meant I didn't really love her, and said she didn't think we should be married anymore. The marriage counselor agreed Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Panhandlers: What do you do AND how do you feel afterword?

The people that genuinely need help, eventually get it. There are enough food banks, shelters, etc to support all of the homeless. The "pros" that you see on the same corner every day for years are people that just don't want to work and get money tax-free. The majority of them are addicts. When you give them money, you are supporting their addiction. I would love to stand on the corner with a sign and have people hand me jump tickets to support my skydiving addiction, but I don't think that's right. When I travel, I always come back with foreign change that I can't get rid of, because the banks won't exchange it. I give it to the homeless people. Once, one of them saw the change before I got a green light to drive away. He threw it back at my car Didn't leave a mark, so no harm. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD -
The only question of merit is: How long do I have to wait for the friggin' zombies??!! Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

This REALLY should be a business. I know plenty of Americans that would pay big bucks to go overseas and shoot people. I even know one or two that would pay a premium to shoot black foreigners. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

As far as being kinda stupid, and bad with aiming, remember that they are accelerated-growth clones, so each one is only like 7 years old. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

And if they are all clones, why are they different heights? Shouldn't they all be exactly the same size? Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

The EU is currently debating the merits of just nuking the hell out of Iceland, so that air traffic will get back to normal. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

OK, so I should pay the exact same dollar amount in taxes as someone that earns a $20 million USD per year. I understand the point of the story now Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Man, I remember one class in Physics 2 (E&M). 50% of the class dropped. 30% failed. I got a "D" my first try, and felt lucky to be in the 20% that made it through. Nearly everyone failed at least once, some failed three or four times. The university just couldn't admit that the teacher was horrible, because he brought in some good research money. Supply and demand - if you want more American engineers, pay them more. I work in a small company, with younger people than me that are VPs and make twice the money; because they make sales, and that's all the company cares about. Like it or not, engineers are a dime a dozen, and if there aren't enough Americans, who cares? Plenty of cheap overseas engineers that will come here and work for a teacher's salary. BTW, why the fuck do we pay teachers so little? Oh, right ... Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Hmm - Yahoo says the 400 people with the highest income in the US paid an average of 17% in taxes in 2010. Last I checked, 17% isn't 59%, unless you're debating someone who attended public school in the US. Took me 12 seconds flat to actually look that up on the Internet. Of course, it's not as politically charged as your numbers, so it's not as much fun ... Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD
