What’s this? A morning coffee?

Did you think we were gone? Can’t blame you. But we’re back, at least for today. (No promises for tomorrow.) Many things that used to be coffee-worthy are now found at our Tumblr thingy, or Pinterest, or on Twitter. But not today.

Today, we want to make sure that everybody who reads the Big Bad Blog is aware of the new blog from XKCD author Randall Munroe: what-if.

In his first article, Munroe explores what would happen if a baseball were thrown near the speed of light. The results are awesome, in the usual XKCD awesome kind of way. You should go read it. Now. What are you waiting for?

A comic?

Fine.

Happy Caturday, folks!

(from arguably the greatest Tumblr of all time)

We have new candidates for “worst criminal of the year”.

In this case, the thieves accidentally dialed 911 while the phone was in their pocket, and then proceeded to discuss what they had stolen, what car they were driving, and where they were going to sell it.

Well done, gentlemen. With only five days left in the year, you’ve got the inside track for the prize!

Webcomic is Gods of the Moon, by Jesse Tahirali.

Whenever I go somewhere, the trip back always feels shorter. I figured it was just me — I’m a bit strange, after all.

But no, it turns out that this happens to everybody.

Once again, my personal oddities appear to the problems of the common man. Next, I expect to learn that you all share my fetishes.
