Today’s comic is a guest comic by the wonderful Sarah Lesson (I would link to her awesome blog, but sadly it no longer exists – a fact that in no way detracts from its awesomeness).
Today’s comic also serves as a reminder that chaospet.com IS still alive, if only barely. I hereby promise a regular update later this week.
A pleasant sign! Good to hear from you.
Thanks, Wm! It is good to be posting again, hope all is well!
Never really got Twitter…
Or Facebook.
Or MySpace.
Heck, I’ve basically just got email…
Canuovea: me too. Makes no sense at all to me.
Get me a good antisocial network and I’ll spend all day on it.
That’s ok, you don’t need any of those things because they’re all stupid now, thanks to Google+!
I use Google+ all the time because there are no other people on it. Ahh, solitude.
More seriously, I do like Google+. I like knowing that I can say things that not everyone I know will hear. Y’know, my boss doesn’t need to hear that one joke.
I have heard of Google+ and it actually sounds rather interesting…
Also, wm tanksley, just hope your boss doesn’t read the comments of this comic! That comment of your’s will make them curious!
Canuovea, send me the email address you’d like to use as the primary on Google+, and I’ll invite you. Course, if I don’t recognize you in my inbox I might not notice, so mention your screen name here. Obviously, this applies to other readers as well :-).

There are other cool benefits, like the free upgrade to unlimited 1800×1800 private pictures at Picasa — not an awful backup plan, and really easy if your camera happens to be an Android phone.

Thanks wm, but I think I’ll wait and see with Google+ just a bit more. Discretion is the better part of valour and all that rot. I’ve not gotten involved with this social networking stuff yet, and it is going to take a bit more than a new system to bring me over. It is still in a kind of open Beta stage, yes?
Also, my Gmail is a rather convoluted mess. It uses the name of my dog and the name of some relative from Europe who I’m not actually related to. I think.

Reminds me of ontological arguments…
1. God is supreme.
2. If something does not exist, then it isn’t supreme.
Thus, 3. If something is supreme, then it exists. [from 2, contra-position]
Thus, 4. God exists.
tadaa!
Also, i no hav an awsom image again. 🙂
and i forgot to add [2x double negation elimination] to step 3.
Isn’t that kinda-sorta Rene Descartes proof for the existence of God? Except replace “supreme” with “perfect” and 2 with “the idea of something can’t come from something less perfect than that idea itself…”
Ta Da!
Isn’t that Anselm?
I didn’t try to rite any specific ontological argument. They ar all horrible anyway. In taking a filosofy corse, one class shud be: For each of the major ontological arguments, explain wy it fails.
I wouldn’t call them horrible… Rather, I’d say that they work only to classify what God would be if He exists.
But you’re right, yours wasn’t Anselm’s.
Why is your spelling peculiar? I can see there’s some kind of phonemic regularization going on…
I wasn’t clear — when I said “they work only” I truly meant that they are limited to that one function; they cannot serve, for example, to actually prove existence.
They work only to confuse people into continuing to believ, almost, anyway. Wasn’t Russell once convinced by the ontological argument? At least for a wile.
Yes, it’s moderate Cut Spelling. http://www.spellingsociety.org/aboutsss/leaflets/cutspelhb.php
Great comic. I also dislike social networking. Can’t we all just get a website?
