This cartoon is true.
I've been squeezing my toothpaste tube for months now. It still makes toothpaste. The pressure inside the tube is now high enough that it's probably fusing together the raw granules of spacetime to make the toothpaste. I should check if the ICECube neutrino detector sees a signal every time I brush my teeth. #wondermark#toothpaste#HighEnergyPhysics
@johncarlosbaez they say there's no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes. The only clothes that would have worked for that rain, would have been a duck's.

@Edent it was decided that because I was tall and could run I must love rugby (I don't). The only way I could get out of playing was to chase and bring down the school rugby captain, they didn't want him hurt, so I got to go sit inside and do sums or something more fun.
