Blogs — what can’t they do?
-
Cosmic Variance is a group blog by people who, coincidentally or not, all happen to be physicists and astrophysicists:
Our day (and night) jobs notwithstanding, the blog is about whatever we find interesting — science, to be sure, but also arts, politics, culture, technology, academia, and miscellaneous trivia. We have similar outlooks on many things, widely disparate opinions about others, and will do our best to keep the discourse reasonably elevated.

Love the first card. Don’t quite get the second. Isn’t Wm. Tell a proper subset of all men?

Second may mean, that men should learn about love getting to the heart of their understanding, or, the arrow can go astray?:)

Just to expand on #3, if the issues of life were thought so confusing for men, how could one not become confused with “all the data out there?” William Tell, Cupid, Men…hmmm?
It’s a “entanglement issue,” while getting to the heart of things, a woman might ask, “men, where is your heart” and the men may say, “I dunno?”
That’s one excuse, eh?

If you don’t get the second one you are probably thinking on too high a level.

been reader her stuff for a while. pretty much always funny or cute, or creepily accurate. she inspired my newest project – definitions. She never seems to have slumps eitherm there all consistantly good.

That first card also captures the common rhetorical trick of claiming that a high Y value proves that you’ve got a high X value. See for example pretty much everything published by the Discovery Institute.

God that’s funny. AND SO TRUE… The true flux of reputation is keenly conveyed in that first graph. Ha!
