It reminds me of baseball game stats ... "he's hitting 500 on Tuesday nights against the Yankees during a full moon and his twin brother has just finished a large cheese pizza"

Right after it hit him in the eye. I believe that technically counts as amore.

Truly the best xkcd comic on the planet earth.

Are there better ones somewhere else on other planets? Where? Mars? And why isn't he publishing them here on earth? 🤔

Squirrels are native here in South Africa, I have a pair of Smith's bush squirrels or tree squirrels living here in my garden. Their population took a knock when my neighbour gave his two boys pellet guns without supervision, luckely they moved or something a year ago. All I know is a wise old man once said: "Morty, you don't mess the squirrels."

You know what you gotta do, right? Build a 41 foot statue of a skateboarding Smith's bush squirrel in tribute to our lord and savior Randall Munroe.

The largest statue of a skateboarding Smith's bush squirrel in tribute to our lord and savior Randall Munroe, in the world, not like those second place Northerners

That's clearly AI generated, I can't believe you didn't put in the small effort to actually make this /s

Nice work! I like the jeans!

Btw, I also like that our usernames are compatible by being partly opposite 😁

I also saw your username and thought damn this is such a good coincidence. Glad to see other people with great taste in usernames

How sure are you there isn't a giant squirrel by some servo in the middle of Australia called the big nutter?
