Blown Minds: "Who might you guess is the earliest president, chronologically, to have a grandchild alive today? Don't cheat. Guess." --wow.
3eanuts: "Charles Schulz's Peanuts comics often conceal the existential despair of their world with a closing joke at the characters' expense. With the last panel omitted, despair pervades all."

uilos on the couch behind me snickering at GLaDOS's increasingly desperate psychological warfare ("No one likes you. It says so in your profile: 'a bitter, unlikeable loner whose passing will not be mourned.' That's you.
