Now I’m worried about how to escape a python attack » « Humanity’s imminent, mysterious extinction

A good joke

This is a mildly amusing xkcd:

What makes it great, though, is the alt text.

“Although I hear they were caught cheating off of Rosalind, who sat at a desk in front of them.”

    I didn’t get the cartoon, but guessed that Rosalind was likely Rosalind Franklin who did get cheated. Then I looked back at the cartoon and kinda sorta got it? What is the purpose of iterating the unit-shape of the original infinity/diamond?

    If this is a test of my declining brain power with age then I have definitely lost it. The cheating part is good though, it should never be forgotten how Franklin was robbed, and the Nobel Prize rubbed salt in the wound.

    I am amused by the alt-text and also by the fact that Rosalind’s sketch is exactly how I was taught to draw the scrollwork borders for illuminated manuscripts.
