Only a slight exaggeration

I was reading this comic…


…and it was weird. It’s titled, “What if this were true,” but this is what my life is like every day, with only a little exaggeration. Just a teeny bit.

The artist is French, so maybe he was using his psychic remote viewing powers to illustrate a typical day in America.

    My first visit worked, but on reloading the site a minute later I got only PHP errors concerning memory allocation. I think we may have slashdotted that website.

    @Tony,

    I got the errors too, but after a while they went away.

    I like the comics. Thanks, PZ!

    a snail goes into a Datsun dealer, to buy a 240Z car. He tells the dealer to change the “Z” to an “S”.
    The dealer asks, “Sure, but why (if I may ask)?”
    The snail responds, jubilantly, “So that when I zoom past a bunch of girls, I can’t wait to hear them say, ‘Look at that S car go!!””

    anyone else, first impression: that was a Chick Tract? I thought not, the ending was too mild for Chick.

    @ 1. laurentweppe, did you intend to type ‘astronomer’? A hat tip to Tpyos or deliberate choice?
    The cartoon makes an apt comment on people who purport to advise investors by predicting the future of potential investments. Whatever graphs and charts they may come up with to confuse themselves and others, they are predicting the future and judging by results, are no better than astrologists or augurs.

    Sorry. I just wanted to mention what is going on at Ashley miller’s blog. It is almost all slympitters apologizing for shermer. It is pretty interesting how they support their positions with only a single dictionary. But I am getting ill.

    Nope: I meant astrologist, since those in the business of “predicting” stock movements day by day are as you yourself noted pretty much as accurate as horoscopes peddlers.

    My bad
