wanderlost, I have that comic printed and taped to my wall here at work, right next to my monitor.

Yes, I do "run in this." So should you. The weather is never as bad as it seems from behind your office or car window.

For me, xkcd comics can usually be classified into 3 categories:

1) Verbose

2) Even geeky for me

3) Instant classic

I often dream I sail through the sky,
I've always wished I could fly.
The simple life of a bird on the wing.
Oh Lord, I could sing.

14 times per day? It's nice to know I'm above average.

Yeah, that estimate seems a bit low when I take into account the people I live with (and myself ). I like that they referenced "sharting" and "mud butting." Big grin
