Reality is a curve. That's not the problem. The problem is that there isn't as much as there should be. According to some of the more mystical texts in the stacks of the library of Unseen University - (…) - at least nine-tenths of all the original reality ever created lies outside the multiverse, and since the multiverse by definition includes absolutely everything that is anything, this puts a bit of a strain on things.

You know, I hadn't noticed before, but if you give Fred Thompson a wig there is a bit of a resemblance…
Of course, the similarities that count are deep down.

At first I found it odd that Fred seems to be three feet tall in this comic, but it pretty much fits with our conceptions of human evolution.

Not quite relevant but you'll like this. Every week b3ta.com has a Photoshop contest and this week's theme is creationism. Some wonderful stuff in there...

You're so wrong, Rey. Fred ought to be much taller than modern man. If you doubt this is possible, how is it there are PYGMIES + DWARFS?!

I think it was on "The Colbert Report" that they pointed out that Thompson also looks like Frankenberry, the pink creature on the cover of cereal boxes of the same thing. I think he was in the Count Chocula family...

I walked right into that one...

Silly blogger: You'll never catch Fred (or his comic alter-ego) ordering the roast duck with the mango salsa... not when he could have a giant rack of brontosaurus ribs!
