The part-time reddit and breadpig model, Dr. Huu, was awarded his PhD in Mechanical Engineering, though, which was nice. There are no photos to document the night of debauchery that ensued. Instead, here's a photo taken before brunch in Brooklyn the following day.
Erik, S.I., and I enjoyed a fine lunch of sandwiches and scotch with Christopher. I was quite pleased with the reddit interview, which should be going on the hot new reddit YouTube channel the first week of December. Stay tuned!

Those missing letters could be a lot of things, really. A command to "SPREAD LOLZ?" Or an order to distribute "LOX," say, over a finely toasted bagel?

“Do not train children to learning by force and harshness, but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.” – Plato.
This school is a gift from the readers of XKCD, an internet comic strip. The world is full of exciting things to discover. We hope you find some of them.This is the dedication going on the plaque at the school's entrance (as chosen by Randall with the help of xkcd readers).Comments [2]
William Randolph Hearst wanted a castle, so he built one. It's astonishingly opulent, housing individual artwork that is today purportedly worth more than the castle's construction (it all belongs to the state of CA now, which cannot sell a single napkin without forfeiting the entire estate).

Beautiful creatures. This leafy sea dragon pranced around like it new it was stunning. Also learned that sleeping sea horses look dead, but they're not! There's even some signage to assuage horrified children and adults alike.

Advertisements like this are quite compelling. I had no choice but to sit down for a hot milk tea and bun. The results were pleasant, but far less explosive. One of the managers was quite interested in my kindle, though, which made for a rousing discussion that ended with a resigned "well, some Chinese company will probably have a thinner, cheaper version in the next year, anyway."
