I love The Oatmeal. Warning: strong language.

Thank you for posting! I'd actually not heard of this effect. Interesting [and entertaining!] read.

Ugh. Sorry Monnie.
Too tedious to get through.

Getting to the point sooner would have been nice.

I don't know xkcd but I will check it out. HaaH was SO good, and I hope she's doing ok. I remember people talking about her quitting the blog awhile ago but I kind of forgot about her. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbole_and_a_Half

You just named 2 of my all time favorite people (Oatmeal and Allie Brosh of Hyperbole and a half)! I adore both of them so much, and this cartoon was no exception. He is a wonderful human being (who also runs marathons and is pretty hot, IMO).

Also, The Oatmeal wrote this, which I"m pretty sure he stole from my innermost thoughts and feelings.

Yeah, Allie's piece on dogs not understanding basic concepts like moving, had me and a co-worker (trying desperately to be quiet) nearly in convulsions laughing so hard. We both went "Eeeeeeeeee!!" to one another ever after. Hilarious.
