I'm disappointed, I wanted cartoons! If anybody else was disappointed at the lack of cartoons in that link, enjoy:

A Farewell salute
The raw, gritty, and absolutely true story of a computer operating system's mascot who overcame unimaginable hardship and went on to become an unparallelled success (maybe he went back to that job he had in that cartoon that no one reads)
You can't trust science
Sparky buys a house (Tomorrow is prescient)
Alan Greenspan (Yikes! Tom Tomorrow has balls of crystal!)
A handy guide to the (2007) housing market

And since this is a nerd site: Barack Obama and the Invasion of Time (not a Tomorrow doodle)

download it's clock-setting

Ooooookay, that's twice. Please see http://www.angryflower.com/itsits.gif .

I know, I know, you don't care and I'm a grammar nazi. Get over it and realize that you limit your audience when you make juvenile mistakes like this. Time to grow up :)

Physics involving cats is bad enough, but now the all cats are holograms..?

If you look inside Schrödinger's Fridge there may or may not be a beer.

Maybe the cat drank them.

the enzymes are being intelligently designed . . .

That's correct. Now the next step, once we are sure that these things are capable of evolving into life, is to invent a time machine and send them back in time to become the seeds for life on this planet. As documented here.

Yeah Bob the angry flower, teaches us about the Apostrophe, You Idiots!

Here's a good summary.

Obligatory Bob the Angry Flower:

There's already prior art for that.

No, it's not possessive.

ITS IT'S

What About Bob?

Leave Bob out of this, he's on crack.

See, that's the thing, the stuff is incredibly addictive. They think they'll only do it on the weekends like they did when they smoked pot, but before they know it they're homeless, and they've hocked all their stuff and are sucking cock to buy more. Just ask Bob.

It is if you properly use case and punctuation. Bob says "destroy the apostrophe" but, er, he's on crack. And he's drunk. He's so fuX0red up ha gets his ass kicked by a simple table.

So kids, just say no to alcohol, drugs, and violent furniture.

We now return you to your daily Microsoft bashing. Bob?

Bob agrees with you... at least, I think he does. Of course, Bob's on crack.

Well, maybe not a button

She took the computer to a second repair shop where they found that one of the problems was that her webcam would turn on whenever it detected her around and was taking photo's and uploading it to a website.

Vapon and Taco, meet Bob.

Don't you mean indeterminate quantum state?

Well, that's indeterminate...

Who needs books? Most scientists read wikipedia.

REAL scientists know wikipedia is unreliable. That's why they use the Uncyclopedia.

Scientific Way of Doing Things
Developed at the precise moment everyone thought science was just a passing fad, the Scientific Way of Doing Things formalized the approach scientists would take to remove knowledge from human minds, allowing the field to flourish and fully separate itself from its mystic beginnings. In the words of metascience expert John "Don't quote me on this" Smith, "The Scientific Way of Doing Things is based on the ancient divination ritual of Guess and Check. Thanks to the innovations of the past century, we've been able to remove the 'Check' phase."

The Scientific Way of Doing Things is strictly adhered to by all respectable scientists and involves 6 steps:

1. Find a piece of information you dislike. In our example, we will use the statement "1+1=2"
   
2. Form a statement which will take its place ("1+1=Dolemite")
   
3. Email this statement to everyone you know. Include the subject line "FWD: Something u didn't know!!! I no i didn't!"
   
4. Publish an article on your Myspace.
   
5. Brush your teeth. A fresh smile adds a layer of believability.
   
6. ?????
   
7. Profit.

Bob the Angry Flower has Schrödinger's fridge.

language evolves over time

It's evolved in my own time, and I argued that with someone else in this thread that was doing a very poor immitation of Carlin (Carlin's rants were funny).

But sometimes it devolves, like using the verb "loose" when you mean "lose", or using an apostrophe when it isn't warranted. That's not evolution, that's illiteracy. Here's another Bob cartoon about the apostrophe.

And Here's a roll model. Here's another. another... hell, google has pages of roll models.

Punctuation aids communication. Its misuse aids obfuscation.

Yeah? Well, my computer is intelligent enough to know when to use an apostrophe and when not to! What's more, even an angry flower is intelligent enough to know that neither"AI's" nor "genius's" should have an apostrophe.

It's AIs and geniuses, genius.

"The AIs were developed in 1997"
"The AI's intelligence was weak, however."

"The genius' hair was mussed"
"The geniuses were stupid."

"Bob's lack of a brain didn't stop him from making fun of illiterates' misuse of the apostrophe, even though two Bobs would be too many, to know of". :P

Don't they have grade school any more? Is it all selfish steam and no English or math?

Ohhhh. You mean in "isn't." Dude that's an APOSTROPHE. You do know what an apostrophe is, don't you? It's a HIGH comma. (I am so baked.)

So's Bob! Bob is one of my favorite cartoon characters. Every nerd should know Bob.

did Cheney shoot his friend in the face because he was pissed off at him, or because he is a buffoon?

Why is this an "either-or" question?

http://www.angryflower.com/cheneys.html

It's 2, of course, but you forgot it in apost'ophe.

And, as always, http://www.angryflower.com/bobsqu.gif

It was giving me some insight into what Schroedinger's cat must have felt ;)

What an ordeal. Have a beer on Bob.

I really, REALLY wish you people would learn to use an apostrophe, damn it! And more importantly, when NOT to use one.

Semilierates wouldn't have a problem, but some of us see images and smell smells as well as hearing sounds when we read. So I read "I understand that the SR-71's leaked fuel:

I see an SR71 fuel leak and smell the JP4 (or JP3 or whatever the mix they used was)

"until they got up high enough"

Then I have to start over because I have NO FUCKING CLUE what you are talking about. I'm sure it's easier for younger nerds, who are used to all the illiterates on the internet but us geezers aren't used to reading writing that was written by illiterates.

Damned internet, I'm gonna go find a book by someone literate that's been edited by someone else literate. Too bad nobody under the age of 30 does this any more.

As to your post, I was stationed at a base in 1974 that had several SR71s. I never saw any stains where they were parked, and never heard about leaks, so I'm assuming you probably read that in People magazine or (more likely) saw it on TV. Because I've never heard of them leaking and can't imagine that they would let a new plane like that leak.

Have the engines fall off is quite another thing entirely, the C5As had that problem. But leaks? Nah. Well the hydraulics maybe...

This reminds me of possibly my favorite Bob the Angry Flower cartoon. Enjoy!

At 0 for 3, I think it's time you took the refresher course in correct apostrophe usage.

I think Bob's beer may be somewhat tenuously relarted to this. There is the "quantum beer effect" whare if it is known that there is beer in the fridge, the beer will for some strange reason disappear. Especially if Tami or Amy are around.

-mcgrew

Ahem.

What is the meaning of this?

Maybe it's just the Magrathean's hard at work?

It's obviously a mistake or a typo but whichever it is the meaning is now lost. Is it a ribald reference, "Maybe it's just the Magrathean's hard on at work" or would Bob the Angry Flower call you an idiot?
