Why are you climbing that tree?

In light of my own feelings of doubt, unease, confusion, and general freaked-out'd-ness about life and the prospect of living it, I assume that other people probably have similar situations from time to time.

So I present to you: webcomics. That's right. Webcomics plugged straight into my LJ, unabashedly. They're from xkcd.

I hope these help. I don't know what's going on, either. I think we have to make it up.

The best way to find anything out is with a poll!

We've identified two major possibilities as to how Rice Krispies could be manufactured. But we don't know which of them is true. The first possibility is that they're little puffed-up rice grains. Pop-rice, if you will. Alternatively, Kellogg's might smash all the rice down into rice flour and then make a dough and then form the little Krispies out of that. Informed by the best empirical and scientific research traditions, we will now conduct a poll. A poll on LJ. Because truth is by consensus.
