There's always eloping. I understand that can be a popular option.

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

Sorry for all the stress, Tepyy.

ION, today's xkcd:

xkcd: Circumference Formula

My brain is braining at only 47% efficiency, so it took me a few seconds....

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

You have a date and a place. What more do they need?

I can't even begin listing things, or I start to make a keening noise that only dogs can hear.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Dry nose syndrome. No sinus-cancer.

At the Jeff Dunham concert he had a couple of things blowing smoke looking stuff on stage. He told a story how after one concert his laywer got a letter threatening a law suit over the "special effects fog" on stage and how his client couldn't breathe as a result and had to go to the hospital. Jeff then leaned down and picked up one of the machines - it was a penguin shaped humidifier.

That your colors are aquamarine and taupe(Don't even come NEAR me with that teal crap...what is this, Studio 54?) And instead of a cake, your cousin is gonna make adorable prune danishes, and you're gonna dance to "Close To You" even though part of you thinks it's hacky and played-out instead of retro and adorable...what do you think?

It's a dumb joke. The superscript '2' is for the footnote; the circumference of a circle is 2*pi*r. Using a superscript there is very stupid, as it looks like the 'r' should be squared.

hwæt

The formula for the circumference of a circle is 2πr. The formula for the area of a circle is πr². The r² in the comic is not r-squared, but rather r-with-a-footnote. I didn't find it very funny, myself.

Hard to argue with this. For me, my reaction was, "Wait, what? Oh."
