Random Quote

Such an act can be neither verified (nor falsified) on the basis of empirical data, by facts established by historical investigation. His death as redemptive event was not an act visible to the disinterested observer. All such mythological acts lie outside the purview of the empirical sciences and hence of the historian.

This is actually a disappointment. I was sure that scienceblogging gave one lightning quick driving reflexes, phenomenal sexual performance, the powers of the anti-christ, and the ability to write perfect copy with the first draft, but this comic seems to be implying that scienceblogging only gives you an excuse for falling short in those areas. Of course, I already have all of those abilities even without the scienceblogging biz, so this comic must be referring to all those other bloggers. Yeah, that's it. I'll keep telling myself that.

I always thought that the ONE place you're supposed to suck is in bed.

It is funny how the original "aphanitic" became "aphanatic" in Chris Rowan's post and then "aphantic" in this post!

Maybe one of the comic strips should say: "you suck in spelling and/or copying and pasting! -it's OK I am a scienceblogger" :-)

Well, being a comic artist, this strip 'sucks', It's hard to read and the visuals don't come across well. And of course, a ruler would have been nice;)

Best,

Brett

I like the fact that the professor figure in the fourth panel resembles the advisor in PhD Comics, even if the rest of the drawing is a crude imitation of xkcd.

June must be sheltered. There are a lot of places in which you can suck. It doesn't have to be in bed.
