25 Great Calvin and Hobbes Strips.

Why Bill Watterson is our hero. We've re-launched Progressive Boink, friends! Our new front page is here. Hope you enjoy. Hundreds of comic strips have been published in newspapers. And it's really a shame that it's so difficult to quantify this strip's greatness. Calvin and Hobbes ran from 1985 to 1995. "Virtue needs some cheaper thrills." © Universal Press Syndicate Calvin is an unbelievably intelligent six-year-old.

One of the top classic Calvin strips. - Bill "You've taught me nothing except how to cynically manipulate the system." Pretty much the voice of Bill Watterson dictating the current state of our school systems. - Nick "We prefer your extinction to the loss of our job." Hobbes' bizarre reply is the icing on the cake. - Jon "It's psychosomatic.

"Never Date a Writer" by xstephens Never date a writer because she’ll fictionalize everything. She’ll write about things you have done to her, or things you never did for her. She’ll write about how you never bought her flowers. Not once. She’ll describe times you embarrassed her, like at a party. She’ll continue this emphasis on what you had done to her, by describing things she had found, but said nothing about. She’ll later describe the moment in the bedroom when she sat at the foot of the bed and you kneeled in front of her. And she’ll send you a manuscript and you’ll be on the couch where you both had sat and you’ll read every word. You’ll sit alone on that couch where you made love to her and you won’t move and the glass of whiskey on the table will not be touched.

They're great for get well or birthday cards too! ^ to top What's going on? Your Magic Flower is powered by a groovy scientific phenomenon called 'capillary action'. As the name suggests, capillary action happens inside capillaries and it takes a little explaining. Now you might have noticed that the water level inside a straw is slightly higher than the water level outside. This upward creeping makes the water surface curve downwards slightly from the edges of a glass container or straw and this shape is called a negative meniscus (meniscus means 'crescent shapes'). Now here's the interesting thing. So what does all this have to do with your Magic Flower? When paper comes into contact with water, the amazing power of capillary action rapidly draws water into all these tiny spaces. But back to your Magic Flower. Tags: physics

The second time you fall in love with someone, you’re going to compare it to your first love. The second time you fall in love with someone, you’re going to suffer from a bout of amnesia.

The second time you fall in love with someone will still be exciting and you might even talk about moving in together or marriage. The second time will not be the first time.
