We’ve all summoned this sort of demon. Right?

This great one panel comic is the work of The Very Near Future. The site takes an open-minded view at what might be happening next; throwing plenty of punches as it does so.

Ask any mathematician about normal distribution and they’ll be able to tell you exactly what it is. In fact, most school kids can draw you a graph of normal distribution.

As it turns out … it’s pretty easy to draw paranormal distribution too!

The truth behind the mighty and powerful Jibbers Crabst

December 7, 2014 by Andrew Leave a Comment

Jibbers Crabst is the holy lobster. Jibbers Crabst is the power that brought life to the universe; including and especially bombardier beetles and banana spiders.

This is the conclusion of high priest Matt Inman, Mr Oats, of The Oatmeal. The cartoonist got to the not-keynote for the first every BAHFest West at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco.

What’s BAHFest? It is the Festival of Bad Ad Hoc Hypotheses, that’s a form of hypotheses I’m fond of here at IPS, and deals with logically explained but clearly wrong evolutionary theory. High prest Matt Inman is a master.

Special shoutout goes to the sign language supplier who stands just behind Inman. She’s given some howlers to translate into ASL and does amazingly well. She wins the audience around.

In Pure Spirit

Do you doubt the lobster wisdom of Jibbers Crabst? What alternative evolutionary theory would you suggest?

Hooray! I’m helping!
