I’ll be at Connecticon in Hartford, CT this weekend! There are some cool people there – I’ll be on a panel with the Cyanide and Happiness guys. If you’re in the area, come say hi! I should have mentioned Connecticon earlier, but I’ve been busy finishing up a project – more on that later!
Note: Some of the stuff in the article is no longer accurate – since then, I’ve gone back and redone the layout and comic selection myself.
I suppose not getting the proof quite right is also a part of the hallucinations. (One plus the product of ‘all primes’ has prime factors that obviously can’t be in ‘all primes’.)

Eigh there.. I’m a comsci student. I was trying to Google for programming jokes then I came through your site. My classmate and I really enjoyed the comic strips even though people over our shoulders didn’t get what’s so funny about your comics.
I’m also a fan of Cyanide and Happiness. I was really surprised that you guys are meeting up!

Your haiku proof sucks. It doesn’t make sense. A “top prime” won’t have divisors, it’s a frigging prime ): it should be

It takes a bit less then two shelves of 1.2 m for an entire Terry Pratchett collection in paperback books.

1.5m is enough for a terry pratchett collection assuming you own every single book for adults, the tiffany aching books, the science books, art books, maps and the last continent, but NOT the kiddy books. It should leave you enough room for a few more books (such as the one that will be published in october). This is for a paperback collection, not hardcovers. I’d go with 2m if I had everything as hardcovers 😛

Wait, oops. Add another 30cm to that at least. I found more books in another shelf 😉

Ummm…but what if you have both paperback and hard covers of each book? Plus the original issue illustrated paperbacks and the new issue paperbacks with the graphic only cover art, and some signed copies that have never been read, only lovingly caressed while dusting them. Perhaps I don’t need more shelves, only a room with nice padded walls…. sigh

Did you get the “derivative” quote in 626 from somewhere? It sounds familiar…

628 is completely wrong!
What do you mean, 43??
If you would guess 42 you would get a way higher probability, I’d say around 42%!

Sie amk. I was so sorry to hear what you were going through since November….and seeing your Monday April 4 comic – I wonder if things are better or how you’re coping up with the illness in your family. Your comic strip has made so many, many of us laugh through the years and have a sense of humor about life through our tough times, wishing you strength during yours. vay ak.
