A Little Late

May 14th, 2008 by Oskar Kennedy

Okay, a lot late, but I’ve been busy. The excellent skeptic/girl power communal blog Skepchick.org has a regular “Comment o’ the Week” feature. From what I can tell, a shadowy cabal of the site’s contributors arbitrarily pick a comment that amuses them.

Despite the lack of transparency in the process, their picks have been consistently excellent and LOL-inducing. Until last week that is, when, for some inexplicable reason, they picked one of my comments.

Don’t let this oversight dissuade you from reading an otherwise interesting and amusing blog. This is just evidence that it’s always good to keep your critical thinking brainmeats engaged. Even consistently smart people can make odd, irrational choices.

spread the panic!

I Win The Internets

September 20th, 2008 by Oskar Kennedy

For the second time in four months, I’ve managed to win the Comment O’ The Week contest at the excellent Skepchick blog. Just like last time, I’d like to remind you that the selection of my comment in no way reflects the usual standard of excellent posting and discussion. Please give Skepchick some clicky love on my behalf.

Links for Brains: 12/29/2008

December 29th, 2008 by Oskar Kennedy
  • The Independent’s Science Editor laments scientific illiteracy among the chattering famous. (Don’t read if you ever again want to vote or go to the movies without feeling slightly dirty.)
  • Proporietor of silly little blog wins Skepchick’s Comment O’ The Week contest for the third time. (Self-promotional linkwhoring still not a federal crime.)
  • Actual headline from Discovery News: How Visiting Your Family Warps Your Brain. (It turns out that they do make you crazy. But not horny. Praise Darwin.)
  • Pakistani Taliban threatens to blow up girl’s schools, because “female education spreads vulgarity in society.” (“Vulgarity” raises hand, asks to not participate in such a stupid sentence.)
  • New Scientist’s Top 10 Articles About Evolution of 2008. (It’s kind of an all-purpose “bugger off, Creationist” link.)

Comment Contest Winner(s)

March 3rd, 2009 by Oskar Kennedy

After a week, and a whopping three entries, I’m wrapping the transcript search contest. I’m pleased to announce that I’ll be awarding the prize to two of the participants. They’ll both be making cameo appearances in a upcoming strip, provided I ever get around to writing one.

  • Winner #1 is Lorry, who left the first comment of the contest on my strip about Epicurus and the biblical creation after searching for the word “bling.”
  • Winner #2 is Rachel C. She searched for “pain of death,” “kill unbelievers,” “human being,” “genitals” and “eternal damnation,” all of which led her to my strip about atheism as a religion.

Congrats to both winners. I will make sure to note the strips they appear in, since I doubt even they will recognize themselves once their likenesses are filtered through my shaky drawing skillz.
