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.

Those of you living in glass houses? You may now throw stones.

And now, seeing as it’s a Friday, we will digress into images …

So it’s a New Year, and plenty of people are now out there trying to get in shape. But if you’re running, should you run while wearing shoes, or go barefoot? While there is no evidence either way to tell us which is better, here at the Big Bad Blog, we suggest going barefoot while running outdoors in winter.

Because we’re cruel.

(If you do decide to run barefoot, these footstickers could be useful. Or not. We haven’t tried them.)

Prosthetic limbs are often made to resemble the real thing … but wouldn’t a tentacle be better?

Here in the UK there is a plot afoot to censor pornography on the Internet. As with most expensive, moronic, untenable propositions, it is being trotted out with the line “think of the children”. Here at the Big Bad Blog, we are capable of parenting without government censorship, thanks.

Also, isn’t this one of those socially conservative initiatives that a coalition with the Liberal Democrats were supposed to prevent?

Good morning, campers! Today we are taking content from our five most popular morning coffees of the year, and combine them into a single, super-powered, coffee!

With the double whammy of giraffe sex and vagina fashion, there was little competition for the position of “favourite coffee” this year: The morning coffee has animal sex and vagina tuxedos won, hands down.

(from the morning coffee presents a tattoo that will help you cheat in chem class)

The above tattoo was not the only popular tattoo-related coffee this year — the morning coffee, submarines, patents and tattoos was also a popular choice, with it’s video game themed tattoo link.

(from this morning coffee has muppets and talking cars.)

Finally, we end with the webcomic featured in the morning coffee and the Hot Mormon Muffins:
