Nedroid (because I'm lazy and it made me laugh)

The blog is still here, friends, but my time to attend to it is not.  In the meantime, enjoy this wonderful comic.

As always, a billion thanks to Nedroid for making my night last night.

I love Nedroid

Thanks Nedroid!

Parasitology Flashback

During my undergrad, I took a course in parasitology, or the study of parasites.  While this class didn't provide me with a lot of information I can use (outside of cool small talk, unless I visit third world countries), it was hands down one of the most interesting classes I have ever taken.  One of the creepy critters we learned about was called Dicrocoelium dentriticum, and it has one of the craziest life-cycles of any organism ever.  The comedic genius at The Oatmeal has illustrated said life-cycle.  Please enjoy.

And that pretty much sums up one of the coolest pieces of knowledge in my head.  Special thanks to The Oatmeal for helping spread (hehe) something so crazy awesome.  Well played, Captain, indeed.

For Bob

As a little bit of background, a good friend of mine for a long time had misinterpreted the phrase "Pulitzer Prize" as "Pulit Surprise."  While both sound enormously exciting, I let forth a significant giggle when I heard the second one.  So when I saw this illustration on a website that I follow, I immediately thought of Bob.  The elephant's name can only be Pulit.

Another Nedroid!

I love this guy's stuff.  It always makes me happy!  Go to his site and read the backlogs--it's easily worth an afternoon of your time.
