Bertrand Russell on the other hand is wonderful to read, and was far ahead of his time, politically and socially. Many of his political or social statements still hold true:
And I still love his comment in the Principia Mathematica after proving that 1 + 1 = 2:

Aye, he did have a talent there, but sadly, his (and Whitehead's) Principia was pretty much, not shot in the heart so much, but was at the very least, given a rather savage beating by Gödel's incompleteness theorem. I'm sad, 'cos Principia is such a seminal work, but there's no way that it can't be self-referential.

...that would have saved me SO MUCH TIME!
To expand on Marten's thought: Our ancestors drank, therefore we are.

Sorry that I was too late to help with part "A", and part "B" has gotten me closer to having hellspawn of my own than I'd care to admit.

Exactly what I was going for. I can't resist certain things sometimes.
Now, to return to somewhere vaguely on-topic (and it may be astronomical distances here), I don't think it's possible for Claire and Hanners to be in a strip together without the Squee!!!! factor elevating to a state that it may cause the universe to implode. As much as I like most of the characters in this comic, those two are just the most adorable sometimes^Wall the time.

Did you write that because I just changed the subtitle of the forum, or is it a coincidence?!
hedgie:
Didn't even notice. Except for than their respective anxiety issues, they're just the two characters in the strip you most want to hug, until everything is okay.

My buddy ran a game a little bit like that. It was set in a city you could only enter by staying away long enough and wanting something enough to do anything to get it. It was a surreal nightmarish place, where everyone had at least mild sleep-deprivation madness.

Don't Rest Your Head, I suppose.
Akima:
I can think of much worse raisons d'ętre than drinking. Think of all the people who believe they've been put on Earth to kill people for god, or exterminate some ethnic group, or smash the landlord class. Being a piss-head is way better than that.
