Been there

I have occasionally run across Lore Brand Comics but never stuck with them. Now I learn that the artist/author, Lore Sjöberg, has a column at Cracked.com. And it looks like a pretty funny column. Exhibit A: If cookbook buyers were like RPG fans.

My hypothetical comment isn't in there; I'm the person who will tell you, at length, what I think is wrong with the new "The Better Joy of Cooking," and why I'm sticking with my old copy. I have enough sense to know that I can cook however I damn well please, but can't quite resist the siren allure of pontificating about my opinions on cookery.

Quote of the Day

"We've seen evidence for this water ice before in observations by the Mars Odyssey orbiter and in disappearing chunks observed by Phoenix last month, but this is the first time Martian water has been touched and tasted."

- University of Arizona's William Boynton, co-investigator for Phoenix's Thermal and Evolved-Gas Analyzer (TEGA), anthropomorphizes the heck out of Phoenix. Not that I'm objecting. Go, robot co-explorer, go!
