September 30, 2008: That Cat Has Already Fallen Billions Of Light-Years
I have no current recollection of whether I have ever linked to xkcd.
But Monday he blew me away, so: linkage. Randall Munroe's strip usually makes me snicker. Occasionally it makes me cry a bit. One expects this from Broadway, perhaps, but we're talking about a webcomic.
Sometimes . . . like today . . . it is just boggling. The observable universe, on a log scale.
I hope he decides to sell this as a poster.
-- Steve Jackson
Later post script: Happy, happy, it IS available as a poster.
Warehouse 23 News: Not To Be Confused With The Red Dagon Inn
All too often the events of an adventurer's life that take place above sea level are given only cursory attention. You went through all the trouble to get all that loot, so now what? It's not like any rational human being (or demihuman being) would exit one hole in the ground and walk straight into another. There's an interim. A downtime. A party party. This rare look into the drunken social lives of heroes is the domain of The Red Dragon Inn 2. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it turns out they're just as violent outside the dungeon as inside.
