So, after many complaints about various things about the quality of the art in the comic, Chargon has decided to draw in full color. Your thoughts? Myself, I think it’s awesomeness lies somewhere between sliced bread and Snapple. For those who don’t know, that is rather high on the list of awesome things.
So, today, we get to vote. From what a rather popular website says, apparently Kerry is predicted to win. This is fine with me and all, but I question the source. You can talk all sorts of nonsense about how you know this, and you know that, but in the end only Fox News truly knows who is going to win.
To all readers, keep an eye open for an errant copy of San Andreas that is somewhere it should not be. All twenty of you. If you find it, quickly slay the culprit, and return it to me. I pay cash, check, and sexual favors for rewards.
I saw The Untouchables again today. I am always happy to see this movie. Sean Connery+Robert Di Nero. How can you possibly lose? It is impossible. The amount of combined awesomeness between those two alone is enough to alter the shape of the cosmos and create new constellations. It is highly recommended to all people who have not seen it that you go out and see it right now.
This time moving back shit, I don’t like it. I don’t know whose idea it was, but it was obviously a bad one. I am already feeling tired and it’s only midnight. What gives? This is obviously wrong. I demand the universe correct itself of this error immediately.
We finally have all of our stuff finished for the Cast page. It will be up soonish. Then, we shall have advertisers! I can not wait until we can actually afford site traffic. That will be so sweet.
What? That’s it. Go away. You’re not supposed to be here anymore. Shoo.

I don't know why there is a space there, but the comic is absolutely scrumptious. Har.
Seriously though, the color really makes it oh so awesome, and I can tell people apart, and I know what is going on, and stuff!
Also, I do believe Benjamin Franklin invented Daylight Savings Time to save oil on candles, because otherwise sundown would keep getting screwy, and people would be like 'holy crap it's darker an hour earlier than it should be so I guess I'll use oil for my lantern an hour longer' and that'd be bad.
I could be wrong though.
I have to say one thing though, the sound effect words are awesome. | |

Actually that's interesting. I read the letter he wrote that supposedly invents Daylight Savings. Nuh uh. Not quite. In reality, it's a pretty funny letter. He alleges that he has made a wonderful and fascinating new discovery--that the sun does give light before noon. The letter largely consists of Frankling making fun of the French in Paris for not waking up before noon--"Clearly, the discovery that the sun is up is an old one, but the fact that it also gives light before noon is clearly entirely mine, for if it had already been known, the Parisians would wake up earlier, for to do so they'd save lots and lots of money."
Of course, he anticipates the lashback--"I mentioned my theory to a friend, who assured me that it could not be possible that sunlight could come into my apartment at the early hour of ten in the morning, and clearly I had merely forgotten to properly close the window, and as such, all the darkness had leaked out, causing the present illusion."
His proposition was not that timekeeping be meddled with. His serious proposition was just that people adjust their schedules to get up to take more advantage of the sun. In that letter in farce of course he also proposes that a police force be set up to fine people who have their windows closed and who don't get up.
But the proposition is just, you know, you people are fools. Get up already. Save money. Also, this is how much you'd save:
And he did lots of calculations based on the price of candlewax and stuff and it turned out that it was a lot of money. But it was in French crowns or some weird 1700s currency, so I don't really recall the significance of the final number, but it was a lot.
Frankly, he never suggested the idea of actually changing time to try and force people to think differently about it. I suppose you might say he was deluded into thinking people would save energy on their own.
But as much then as now, it seems that people are just lazy arse pirates, eh? | |
