    Yeah they're pretty addictive, although it helps if you're a bit of a computer nerd.

    Fortunately we don't need Joanna around here too often...:

    That one strip has cost them all credibility with me since they fail to mention that the only way that would work would be if you were exactly positioned on one of the points where the earth's axis of rotation meets it's surface (assuming you weren't planning to tunnel obviously).:rolleyes:
    Otherwise half your spin would slow the earth while the other half would aid it.
    TBH you'd be better off running in a constant easterly direction and hoping the minute force exerted by this would slow the earth's rotation.

    Have to ask if the irony of that first strip has escaped you taconol, since the strip itself is guilty of stereotyping males yet it is complaining about males stereotyping females.

    I said it was true, not specifying what was true.

    It's a comic strip. Lighten up.

    xkcd isn't great. White Ninja for the win.

    Loves xkcd and Cyanide & Hapiness.

    As for maths. Hmmm, I dunno about it. I did two weeks work and got an Honours B2. Go me.
