You're in the middle of an arena. You're being attacked by 5 year olds who will stop at nothing to kill you. How many can you take on before they overcome you?
Personally I'm thinking 11, if they're organised. Two for each arm, three for each leg, and one to kick you when you're down...

Vampires, zombies, oh my.
If you like "graphic novels" then you might like this. Not exactly jaw-droppingly brilliant, but entertaining enough. It's still got about 20 pages to go, but they're adding two or three a week, so that ain't too irritating.
And more stuff you really should have seen by now on the internet;
- Superman is a dick. If that's news to you, start here.
- TOTSE which is full of weird, weird stuff.

The Basics
More stuff you really have to know about in order to get your Internet license:
- From the now sadly defunct adequacy.org, Is your son a computer hacker?
- The Chick Tracts. I'd link to my favourite, but there are so many! (etc)
- Everyone's seen uncyclopedia (right?) but what about Conservapedia. Just as funny, but it's not satire!
- Timecube - behold the mind of a schizophrenic set down for you to read. Worrying.
More to follow, when I think of it.
Also, apropos of nothing, more crazy hi-fi stuff!
And, finally, weird, weird, weird (don't blame me if you watch the videos)

Making Bristol students seem classy
Some hi-larious sensitivity from US Students.
For the few who don't read xkcd, this strip has resulted in this set of photos (which you might not want to view in the office.)
Woahh! Holy shit.
(oh, yeah, and apropos the XKCD thing, google "Rule 34" at your peril...)

subscribe to the newsletter. good monthly read, makes you feel real smart, enjoy the occasional atheist rant or academic flame war

loads of cool discussions eg by johnny haidt on the psychological underpinnings of morality and how they vary across the political spectrum, some dude with big hair on genius, that cool company that makes computers analyse pop tracks to tell in advance whether they'll get to number one, and a chat by some dude regarding that ultimate god game thats called spawn or sperm or whatever it is

George Carlin - hicksian poet
I can't believe I only came across this guy yesterday.
you may recognise him as Rufus from Bill and Ted. it turns out he's also a highly scathing, dark, political comedian. and most importantly, very funny. Calling him hicksian is unfair since he predates hicks, but you'll see the similarity - all to the good
sketches on yootoob:
Rape CAN be funny
Religion is bullshit
I love Natural Disasters

You're a depreciating asset
Excellent advice for gold-diggers
Additionally, $7k speaker cables? ONE MILLION DOLLARS if you can prove an objective difference. Awesome review thereof
