    HOW TO INVENT EVERYTHING is out in paperback! This survival guide shows YOU, the stranded time traveler, how to rebuild civilization... from scratch. I think it's the best thing I've ever written, and I know you'll use it to make history... BETTER.

    The cover of How To Invent Everything, by @derek_charm!  HE'S THE BEST AND IT'S THE BEST
    And here's the front AND back covers of How To Invent Everything!  There's some great praise for the book that we slipped in.  Maybe you'll love it too?

    the bishop of orlando is also the bishop of the moon, due to a canon law that says "any newly discovered territory would fall under the bishopric from whence the discovering expedition departed". his is therefore the largest catholic diocese, at over 14,000,000 square miles

    Found this gem of a book. I can not get over how entertaining it is. Thank you, for enabling my Hamlet habit.

  4. I am happy to confirm both that early results confirm BEYOND A DOUBT that I am correct, and also that Twitter polls aren't scientific, don't hit a random selection of people, and should be given no more weight than a wild anecdote you heard at the bar from some guy 3 years ago

  5. 24 hours to answer so you can do this no matter how often you're indisposed in the shower. I (meaning you) most often shower:

  6. Reading everyone's hourly comics and seeing them showering at night or at some random point in the midday (??), and as someone who showers first thing in the morning: y'all are perverts

    Someone at Kaiju Big Battle was like "What's your shirt of" and I was like "Oh it's Artemesia Gentileschi's The Beheading of Holofernes except they're all cute animals" and he was like "oh"

    It wasn’t a joke. They actually did it. In today’s Oregonian.

    I tell people to stop worrying about futuristic runaway smart AI, because it's stupid current AI that will kill us, this is what I mean. Someone bought a product that *literally* text-matched the word "charity" as 'good' and "vodka" as 'bad' and is making hiring choices with it.

  13. My brother asked me how many elements there are on the periodic table and I instantly answered 118, and he called me a turbonerd. Owned

  14. To clarify above: when I said "even I was DB Cooper", I meant "even *if* I was DB Cooper", which, I hasten to add again, I am DEFINITELY not

  15. My denial that I'm DB Cooper is raising a lot of questions already answered by my clear and unsolicited denial of being DB Cooper

  16. Looks: there's LOTS of Canadians who like comic books, so even I was DB Cooper, which I'm not, there's no reason to suspect that he is me in particular

  17. MANY people believe DB Cooper didn't survive his leap from the airplane, or if he did, there's tons of reasons why he wouldn't pass himself off a tall, handsome cartoonist for the past oh let's say 39 years. Again: MANY people believe this, so we should all stop questioning it

  18. Apparently the reason school buses don't have seatbelts is still the same: the seats are padded and protect children just like, and I am absolutely quoting here, "Christmas tree ornaments are protected in their boxes by those paper dividers"

  19. When I was a kid, school buses didn't have seatbelts and we were told it was because the seats were so well padded they weren't needed. So we all slammed our heads into the seats to test how padded they were and we all got bruises. No moral
