Wow, I thought a lot of panels copied the Calvin and Hobbes style.

On vocabulary, words like "be" are actually concepts, with many forms, and there may be numerous synonyms for the same concept (fast and quick, etc.). What would really be useful would be a concept list, and here is one:

Note to non-profits: You don't care that I've expressed a desire not to be called, but I'm going to donate to your cause. Yeah. How does that work, exactly?

That's how the plan was sold. The interesting thing is our superhighways and the German Autobahns inspired each other. The first long superhighway in the U.S., the Pennsylvania Turnpike, actually exploited an existing railroad grade. German engineers were inspired by it, and it takes a lot less to build a national…

Actually, it's the DEFENSE Interstate Highway System, the fruition of a plan first pushed by Pershing after World War One. H1, H2 and H3 link the major defense installations on Oahu.

I believe Midway is under Hawaiian jurisdiction.

Well, we do. There isn't one, because the survey would have seen it.

This picture is obviously fake because the shadows are pointing in different directions. Just like the moon landing photos. [/sarcasm]

Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky -Kansas, "Dust in the Wind"

Actually, orogenesis doesn't force mountains up directly. It thickens the crust, by compressing and crumpling it, adding new material through volcanism and intrusions, or by doubling the crust by sliding one plate over another, like Tibet sliding over India. Another process, called isostasy, causes the thickened crust…

The main reasons computers leak like sieves is that corporations want back doors so they can track whether we have legitimate copies of their software, install adware, gather demographics, and so on.

We long ago granted the gubmint the right to know our financial doings, force businesses to keep records of all sorts for government benefit, police who they hire and why. Bit late to worry about snooping.

The #1 stupid comment on Crystal Skull is "nuking the fridge" as the new "jumping the shark." You're in a stick-built house with an atomic bomb about to go off in 60 seconds. What's your plan? Hunker down against the wall like the old '50's air raid drills? Can you bend far enough to kiss your @$$ goodbye? The…

No, blame the passengers. If people were willing to pay the real costs of doing business we wouldn't have this problem. But to save a few bucks on fare, people said it would be okay to brown-bag on flights, so now there's virtually no meal service. And to save a few bucks on tickets, we now have check-in fees.

I'd like to see these two sins punished by permanent banning from access to map software.

You left out the Michael Moore documentary.

I think instead of "Painter of Light," he should be called "Painter of Slush." Not for his style (although that works, too) but have you even noticed how many of his paintings are just after a snowstorm with deep ruts in the snow in the road? Looks so picturesque, unless you live where it actually happens and can…

I seriously doubt two remote control helicopters can lift a person, even the lithe young lady in the video. But if they can, do they do home delivery?

Talk about short sighted. How about #2: Use less. Demand drops and the price drops as well. Because what will you say. years from now, after you've used up all your reserves in the ground, and you really need reserves? 700 million barrels will supply U.S. oil needs for five weeks.

If the mother was feral and her kittens were in an unexpected place, in tall weeds, and the user had no reason to expect a kitten there, I can see how it might happen. Since the cat looks mostly healed at five weeks old, he might have been injured at a very young age but still able to be nursed by his mother. If it…
