There are infinitely many universes. The only thing that all these universes have in common is that each has a Batman.

I think this may mean that Batman proves that String Theory is true.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

OK, how many dimensions are there in string theory?

10 or 11 depending on your theory. 11 would be for M-Theory. Actually it would just be a large number of Universes not infinite.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

It made me laugh.

I am done here. I shall go home.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Here's a dumber one:

The Batmobile is black because Batman couldn't get it in a darker color.

Batman doesn't need superpowers; superpowers need Batman.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Okay, I gave it its own subdomain. batfacts.thevelvetedge.com.

I like those too, Ginger. You should submit them. t /batpimp

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Cass, what is this about the skunks? Do you have some living around your area? Under your porch?

Theodosia, San Diego (especially my area) is riddled with canyons. We have loads and loads of smaller wild animals around here. The skunks wander around, get frightened and spray. It actually happens a lot.

Last night the skunk must have been very close. And possibly was feeling threatened by a dog that kept sniffing around, given that the odor was around for hours.

I have the same problem with the Yankee Candle store.

My sister manages one and I can't figure out how she can handle it. Or any of the other more fragrant retail places she's worked. Though I love her discount at Yankee Candle, I only have two of the scents and only burn one at a time.

I need to be very careful of the scents I have in my home, in my bath and on my body.

Interesting article on breeding clouded leopards.

The San Diego zoo just put some clouded leopards on display. Now I am terribly curious as to whether they or the Wild Animal Park are having (or have had) luck breeding them.

I should also go to the zoo.

Instead I'm clicking Bat links.
