Humor and Geeks

So, being a geek, I've always laughed at things most people don't find funny. When you need at lest two semesters of calculus to get a joke, that joke doesn't go far in every day society. And even though there were a lot of things I found funny out there on the web, nothing really touched that deep down psychosis of disturbed humor that I have. That was, until I found xkcd.com. Honestly, I can't even remember how I found it the first time, or when! (I think it was around a year ago?) But I have to say it is without doubt one of the funniest comics I have ever read. I have a degree in Physics, and Engineering and I'm currently an IT dude, and the guy who writes the strip, Randall Munroe, also has a degree in physics and worked for NASA and knows a thing or two about computers, so I definitely get the humor he's spitting out! Ever since I discovered it, I've tried to tell as many people about it as possible, my wife, my coworkers, random people on the street (I am weird after all). So, now you all know about it. I just wanted to give a shout out to Randall and say keep it up!

Now I would like to leave you with one of my most favorite xkcd comic's of all times. (I send a link to every DB programmer I work with, and my wife has a copy on the wall in her office!)



Thank you Randall and xkcd.com!
