Fighting for the Cause, Part 3
[[Ferdinand is working at a computer and Aaron is looking over his shoulder.]]
Aaron: You want to Groundhog Day to be a national holiday, but do they deserve it? How accurate are they at predicting spring?
Ferdinand: Let's see... According to wikipedia (i.e. the word of God) they're right 40% of the time!
Aaron: That's horrible! We'd be better off guessing!
Ferdinand: Hey it's better than the local weatherman, who's basically always wrong!
Aaron: But if he's always wrong, can't you just expect the opposite?
Ferdinand: It's the principle that counts!

Two Lumps

Ebenezer: What in Sif's neti pot are you doing?
Snooch: I'm takin' my kill to show Mom! I'm a mighty hunter!
[[Snooch drops the toy]]
Ebenezer: That's a plush armadillo toy.
Snooch: So?
Ebenezer: It doesn't count as a "kill," picklebrain.
Snooch: It's not ALIVE, is it?
[[Snooch walks away with the toy]]
Ebenezer: No, but it was never alive to begin with.
Snooch: You have no cited source for proof! So I'm right!

You're Not So Great: A Children's Poem by Charles Darwin (Part III)
you're not so great
a children's poem by Charles Darwin
(part 3)
[[That's got the same blue background as the last one.]]
[[#1 from part 2 has aged considerably; his manner of humanoid (like the deceptively named "human" from part 1) apparently having disproportionate limbs as the norm upon reaching late childhood (or perhaps early adulthood. Further study is once again warranted). He has acquired (or at least first demonstrated) the ability to speak in pictograms, somehow. The particular image spoken is perhaps 14 bp worth of B DNA slightly supercoiled... never mind. He's in front of purple. And I shall leave it up to you* to decide whether Darwin is speaking the lines which follow.]]
Perhaps now you'll brag
That your being's complex,
But that's 'cause your parents
Mixed genes during sex!
[[To the left, a beige-ish arthropod whose antennae might actually be its mandibles to sinister, statant on azure; below, a brown arthropod (this seems a roach, save that it has one leg on its right side and four on its left and that it has the head of a Kabutops) to dexter, statant on gules; to the right is what I will call a lamprey, and who cares what Peter says it is, lamprey is just a better word, salient or maybe rampant guardant (it doesn't have legs, how can I tell what it's doing if it doesn't have legs?) on a verdant field. And now that you're back from Wikipedia's articles on heraldry, I would also like to mention that there are words around, of dubious origin as regards to Darwin and his speaking thereof.]]
Scabies
And hookworms!
Cockroaches too!
They're made with the same
Inner beauty as you!
[[Darwin is back; his beard narrowed by hardship since we saw him last, one eyebrow raised, and the angle of his arms become acute, though still canted to the right (his left, if you care, the same side as the raised eyebrow) on a pink background. I still don't know if he's talking, but the uncertainty leans in his favor considering his placement here.]]
You can cover it up,
But the truth won't avoid us!
We're all just the outcome of
Some kind of coitus!
[[#1 is back, with his lower left eyelid slightly raised as if to express skepticism or some such, his arms lowered in some sort of silent plea, perhaps for hair, or some acknowledgment of the combination of opposable thumbs and intelligence which makes us basically the best at extinguishing (that's gotta be the verb correspondent to "extinct") other species and also surviving and multiplying better than our mere physicality might suggest. Seriously, name one living thing that humans can't murder the crap out of. Go on, take your time. I'll wait. Did you guess MRSA? Sorry, but even they can't do all that much more than break even against the finely-tuned immune system of a healthy human. Now look for another species which has invented leisure activities. I won't wait this time. Oh, and Darwin is still speaking (or maybe not).]]
So you're nothing special!
You're too second-rate!
Your birth is no reason
To say you're so great!

Donald: Don't say that name! Besides, what makes you think he's alive?
[[Harry comes up to the table where Donald and Harmony are sitting]]
Harry: I overheard Sysape and Quux arguing. Sysape was trying to force Quux to give him the password to get past that giant robot dog.
Donald: But why?
Harmony: He must be trying to get to the Napier's Bones.
Harry: But what does that have to do with Gnaw... with you know who?

WolframAlpha
Dude! Get down here!
What's going on?
Wolfram Alpha.
This new computational knowledge engine.
What about it?
Is it as good as it's cracked up to be?
We're about to find out.
What do you mean?
Well the thing is, if you ask it about the population of New York, not only does it tell you the number, but it shows you the growth since 1825.
Pretty cool, but that's nothing Wikipedia couldn't tell you.
Exactly.
It also does great calculations, but again, most of the time a calculator will do the trick.
So I tried to think of something that could really change the world.
I mean, we're talking about a question people have undoubtedly been asking for centuries.
I worded the question just right and it spat out these coordinates.

Dude: Dudes are always saying how lame Americans are for calling association football "soccer".
Dude: But dudes! We didn't even come up with that name! The Brits did, in the 1800s! It was a slang term for "association".
Dude: That being said, I think we can all agree that it's really strange how we Americans don't really care about soccer. Sorry Beckham, YOU FAILED.
