Was browsing XKCD, and came upon these two little gems. Thought you folks might find them amusing.

I have a friend that writes and I'm really tempted to send him that top one, but I'm sure he would find it highly offensive. (He writes high fantasy and I told that next time he asks me to beta something it better come with a primer.) Ah, what the heck. I'll send it anyway!

I love that second one. I was a lit major in college.

Why do you hate women?

I love the last one!

Both are really good. Even if I do write fantasy and make up the occasional word. :tongue
