  • I get the humor of the comic, but I generally think it’s a bad idea to compare two people in order to make a judgement, or even two groups of people. If you actually look at the groups, you’ll almost always find that each community has its strengths and weaknesses. They can actually learn from each other.

    I was watching a video of a lady who escaped from North Korea. There was a real food shortage, and people were barely surviving. But she also said that she missed the feeling of community that she felt in her home town. That there was a certain kind of happiness that she felt living in a poor community struggling to get by that she couldn’t replicate.










  • I didn’t get the joke until it was explained, but I can explain this much.

    In the fall, for daylight savings, you set the clock one hour back. Basically, you get an extra hour that is inserted into the night.

    In leap years, you get an extra day, so the joke is that this extra day is inserted into the night.

    The analogy doesn’t account for the spring part of daylight savings.




  • Spoiler for the movie Gravity:

    In Gravity, George Clooney’s character wasn’t her husband and it was he who drifted away. But other than that, it’s a pretty common interpretation that this is the same thing that happened to Sandra Bullock’s character. That she died and the ending on Earth was her already being dead. This comic is basically a summary of the movie.
