I'm on holidays.

I came across these cartoons, xkcd.com, somewhere recently - maybe Bif put me on to them, I can't remember. While there are a few cartoons doing the rounds which share a similar style at the moment, it doesn't take from the fact that these are still really funny.

Today TCAL reminded me of their existance and I went browsing a few of the cartoons.

First of all this one made me laugh, and made me decide to adopt the phrase...


This one, along the same kind of lines in a way also made me laugh:


This one I like a lot because it shows I'm not the only one who considers these things, which I really thought I was:


I also just realised that reading xkcd.com cartoons is greatly enhanced when you realise that hovering over the images reveals further insights into the toons via the alt tag text. Also Firefox cuts off long alt text at a certain character length or something so I had to switch to IE for full viewing pleasure. Annoying.

I have not replicated the alt tag greatness in this post when I was hotlinking the images. I assume because xkcd.com gives the url of the image under each cartoon that he encourages hotlinking and will not shame me online for doing so. Hope hope.


Go to xkcd.com for the full viewing pleasure experience. Start with this great one if you like, which also has a great alt tag!
