Funny how prayers get fast-tracked this time of year

The past few days have been brutal. The only saving grace to the ordeal was the fact that no matter where I was (in bed, in the bathroom... in the bathroom) I had my new iPad and a good WiFi signal.

A short while ago a friend clued me in to a snarky comic strip called XKCD that is a nice mix of tech, sarcasm, math and hip. I immediately bookmarked it and resolved to plow through the archives the next time I had some time on my hands.

Heh, heh... funny how prayers get fast-tracked this time of year.

So, a big chunk of that downtime I logged this week in the smallest room of the house was spent reading through the archives of this strip. I should begin by saying that everyone's sense of humor is different, so this may not be for everyone.  But if you like to be challenged and occasionally hit over the head by the obscurely obvious... then this strip is for you.

Here are a few samples that made me laugh out loud (a decidedly creepy thing to hear from the other side of the bathroom door, I'm sure):

I don't wish on anyone the kind of free time I've had over the past few days.  But trust me when I say that XKCD is worth bookmarking and making a part of your online routine.
