Once again, today's xkcd is pretty much the funniest thing on the web.

My favorite this week was this one: http://www.xkcd.com/c256.html

Could this be the difference between a linguist and a librarian?

Oh, god, I spent an upsetting amount of time looking at that one last night.

-- also a librarian

Don't get me wrong, I love the map of the internet. But oh how I love the linguistics jokes.

Nice icon, by the way; what's it from? (Also quite impressed by your daughter's drawing of you.)

If you want more.

And I can just imagine how you delight in linguistic jokes. Might they be as rare as a militant/aggressive/sexy librarian in a movie/comic/book/TV show?

FWIW Tah, if you like my daughter's drawing of me, done five years ago, you might really like what she's into now.

At least I hope you do!

Sometimes xkcd is the funniest thing on the web.

Sometimes I'm the wrong kind of geek to get the jokes. This one I get just fine, but I'm not awake enough to appreciate it yet.

(Hi! I added you to my f-list. Hope to see you and leighjen again soon.)
