I think Peter killed a squirrel in Ender's Game

Peter dissected a squirrel while it was still alive and left it to die (and Valentine found it).

i dont get it. ( and yes, i have read the whole Ender's saga)

I get it, I just don't find it particularly humorous or clever.

Mity - do you just not "get" the squirrel part, or the whole comic? I love the squirrel bit (note that said squirrel is alive in the first panel and dead in the second), but what really hits home to me is that when I was reading through the Shadow series recently, it occurred to me how implausible the entire "Peter-Wiggin-rise-to-power-via-internet-messageboards" truly would have been (granted, Card was writing that originally well before today's Web). I just love the concept of Peter Wiggin, Blogger (who nobody reads).

The new Yehoodi totally ruined this thread, as it abolished the ability to create the HTML for mouseovers. For that reason alone I insist that they revert back to Yehoodi 2.0.

Try "make me a sandwich"

And then

"sudo make me a sandwich"

shutdown works well...with the proper elevation :)

I'd post all the stuff that does something, but I'll let others discover by themselves. Of course, if you get impatient, you could always view the source code.
