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.

It's a giant castle suspended in the sky using high-temperature superconductors, it has a rooftop parking lot for flying cars, and students and faculty will move around this adacemic utopia via Segways or cloned dinosaurs (wearing saddles). Most of the staffing is expected to be delayed, however, pending the Singularity and/or the Rapture, whichever comes first.
Dinosaurs, awesome!

(ps: You just reminded me to check today's Dinosaur Comics, and the results were JOVIAL IN NATURE.)

I think everybody loves Dinosaur Comics :) Or should.

Also: Thank you :)
