They have a name for it: Dead Sea Effect.

I wrote a program to figure out what day of the week this landed on (assuming it is in fact October 2nd, 151441).

It’s a Saturday.

Real downer on the start of the weekend.

An excellent transcript. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmaUIyvy8E8

“Hey, listen, motherfucker!”

The labyrinth one is probably my favorite. It’s tough to say a web comic has “timing,” but the way the look on the labyrinth builder’s face hits in the last panel is gold.

I recently finished my degree, and exam-heavy courses were the bane of my existence. I could sit down with the homework, work out every problem completely with everything documented, and then sit to an exam and suddenly it’s “what’s a fluid? What’s energy? Is this a pencil?”

The worst example was a course with three exams worth 30% of the grade, attendance 5% and homework 5%. I had to take the course twice; 100% on HW each time, but barely scraped by with a 70.4% after exams on the second attempt. Courses like that took years off my life in stress. :(
