Punishingly Intricate
My supervisor tends to deal with complaints by calling the problem person in immediatly when you are presenting the information - very confrontational and puts you on the spot if you are the one making the complaint. It makes me really uncomfortable.
That's a terrible management style! Sheesh.

Can someone explain this xkcd to me? My physics isn't up to it.
I think it's implying that when you do the math, the result will be something supernatural, like werewolves or zombies or something.
The joke being that quantum mechanical equations often have some freaky counterintuitive results.

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

There's really no physics in it. Tuesday was a year after Higgs predicted the Higgs boson would be discovered in a year. I guess the cartoon is suggesting that the characters believe discovering the Higgs boson will mean the advent of the apocalypse or something. Now that I have sucked all the humor out of it, enjoy the cartoon.

Well, see, Jimmy Webb was driving by the park and there had been a reception that got rained out. So there really was a wedding cake in the rain and he thought that was a sad metaphor for something....
OK, but that doesn't address the fact that the singer will never have that recipe again.
WTF?

For some reason that xkcd reminded me of the Far Side cartoon, where every scientist at a symposium has a duck, except for one who forgot his.
Yeah, even though it's not the same situation. It'd be closer if the one scientist didn't know why everyone else had a duck.
