xkcd sometimes really hits the spot. Often the alt text is even funnier, but you have to go to the page for that

In the same vein there's this response to automatic number plate scanners:

I only really had XKCD properly pointed out to me recently and spent the best part of two days reading the whole lot from start to finish, then someone alerted me to the alt-text thing and now I feel like I have to go back and do the whole thing again.  No great hardship, I guess.  :)

This is my favourite, even more so when I read the alt-text:

( I sometimes think I am a bit of geek slackers, but you are geekgod).

Richard Feynman is a physicist who worked with quantum theory and came up with feynman diagrams. He was also the the guy who explained why the Challenger Space shuttle exploded (Liquid nitrogen leaked onto the strut holding one of the booster rockets to the fuel tank causing it to become brittle and fracture... if memory serves). Watched an interesting documentary on him during A-level physics a long time ago.

And we obviously all know who Feynman is......

Richard Feynman, only one of the greatest physicists since Einstein, did lots of work on Quantum Electro Dynamics and was a great communicator of science, his books are great and highly entertaining.  He also sat on the board that investigated the cause of the Challenger disaster.

Think I posted a video of him being interviewed about his thoughts on theology the other week in case you missed it...

Worth reading his books though if you don't mind reading (popular) science books in your spare time.  They're not too technical and as I say he explains complex ideas and theories very well, particularly in his Six Easy Pieces (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Feynman_Lectures_on_Physics#Six_Easy_Pieces_.281994.29), less so in Six Not So Easy Pieces (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Feynman_Lectures_on_Physics#Six_Not-So-Easy_Pieces_.281998.29).

His biography Surely You're Joking Mr Feynman! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surely_You%27re_Joking,_Mr._Feynman!) is a very good read too, he was genuinely interested in understanding the world around him.  Whilst sat around watching ants he deduced a simple experiment to suggest that ants laid trails of pheromones to guide each other between nest and food (completely oblivious to the fact that entomologists and behavioural ecologists had already shown this, it was a simple experiment to have ants crossing over a bridge/slide that when replaced with a clean bridge confused the ants as to which way to go as there was no trail, put the old bridge next to the new clean one and they picked up the trail and used it, or something like that I think, t'was about eight years ago I read the book, but thoroughly enjoyed it).

been on here before?:
http://axecop.com/ (http://axecop.com/)

Quote
The fun of Axe Cop for me is that there IS a logic to it and the main point is not to be absurd, and that is what is fascinating to me about it, because sure, we all know kids who weave wild stories... but who sits there and asks "and then what happened?" and really digs into that world? Not that it is a genius world or a magical world, but it is just this sort of excavating of ideas where ninja werewolves are produced, but not to sell a t-shirt, not to be ironic... it's just my 5 year old brother taking what is awesome in his mind and piling it on, and combining it with what is logical in his mind. It becomes this interesting peak into a world most of us only have a vague recollection of, because most of us, when we were 5, did not have our imaginations chronicled. Most of us, when we started telling our stories, got ignored... which is fine. This is art based on a thing people often ignore... and to that extent I argue it is good art, because good art makes you notice what you grew used to not noticing. Maybe it doesn't do it for every one, but it does for many, and it does for me, and to that extent I am proud of it.
I'm not going to sit here and try to toot my own horn about how more than simply drawing pictures goes into making this comic... I've had some great defense in here and I really appreciate it. I was more surprised than anyone when this comic became as popular as it did, so it's fine if you aren't into it. But to dismiss it as absurdity for the sake of absurdity is missing the point. Malachai rarely sets out to just be absurd. To him, he is just thinking "what would be awesome?" Axe Cop is a study in 5 year old concepts of awesome and it tries to take that short attention span and limited sense of logic and force it into a world that takes itself seriously. I am not claiming it to be profound, but I am claiming to be making more than just a quirky, absurd comic that depends solely on non-sequiter. If that was all I was doing, I would not need to involve Malachai... I have my own ass to pull stuff out of. I don't think all comics should be this way, and I don't think it should go on forever... but it's a damn fun project and I'm thrilled so many people are enjoying it as much as I am.
