Order of the Stick

Dungeons and Dragons geeks are a special breed in that even comic book geeks make fun of them. But that's okay, because we... I mean they can take a good laugh at their expense now and then, and even poke fun at themselves when the situation warrants it. And, with Order of the Stick, the situation certainly does warrant it. Order of the Stick is an online comic strip that explorer the adventures of a group of adventurers out for gold, experience points, and maybe even the blood of a lich or a goblin along the way. The strip is hilarious and manages to poke fun at the content (D&D) while creating a fun, imaginative storyline along the way. If this strip doesn't cause you to geek out, nothing will.

Love Advice From Dr. Zaius

"I will attempt to help you - even though you are simple animals, like dogs," begins this website, which offers advice for the lovelorn from none other than Planet of the Apes' Dr. Zaius. Some of the questions are a little risque, but most are tame enough (" Are bald men really more virile?") and the good doctor's advice is almost always on the money - but only if you're an ape.

Feeling Paranoid?

Feeling paranoid? Once you read the UK's Paranoid Joe (no relation) comic strip, you'll feel practically normal. Michael Ewing writes the online strip, which features a paranoid guy named Joe doing battle against an ATM machine, a talking duck, and even a roving gang of gangster babies. The strip is at once amusing, weird, and even a little frightening. In fact, it's almost enough to make you... paranoid.

Tomatoes are Evil

I've long suspected it, and finally it's been confirmed: tomatoes are evil. They are the devil's produce, and they'll suck out your soul if you let them. Do you want proof? Look no further than the Encyclopedia Britannica, which reveals that the tomato is a member of the deadly Nightshade family, which also includes such poisonous plants as belladonna. Convinced yet? If not, consider this: if you've ever watched a horror movie, you'll know that red, like the devil, is evil. Case closed. Now tomato sauce, on the other hand, especially when slathered over pizza crust and covered with mozzarella cheese and nice, thick chunks of Canadian Bacon, if the closest you can get to heaven without actually going there yourself. Who knew the simple tomato could be so versatile?

Good night, sleep tight, and don't let the bed bugs bite. While Jeffy has finally conquered the bed bugs, you may not be so lucky, and so he's kindly provided warning signs of bed bug infestation as well as hints and instructions for getting the little pests out of your bed and into the little bug graves that they all deserve. There's even a forum to discuss victories and defeats in your own battles against the creepy miniature attackers. Follow Jeffy's advice and you may just wind up having a good night and sleeping tight after all.
