Well, the thing in your picture is obviously wearing a hat. Raptors cannot wear hats, so therefore it's human.It's a meme on the fora, just go with it
also, page topper with little content
Kan: I'm on top of the page. First thing people see. and it's just a reply to you....most of the time content is appreciated

kanavazk, I'm glad you took the initiative of making things "worse than that"*. The "half notes" bit made me happy. :)

*I was going to do "strangely curved penis". What? It would have been worse after all.

Sorry, don't understand.

EDIT: To benjhuey: Thanks, not sure about the penis thing though

EDIT 2: Playing with font sizes is fun. Wait, was that grammatically correct? It doesn't sound right when I say it out loud.

EDIT 3: Oh, OK. [Referring to AKAnotu's previous post.]

Thanks for catching that. I'll fix that sometime later. Or not.

well, the picture said half note, so I assumed that it was a hat on the raptors head(which is impossible, of course. Raptors can't wear hats)

I did these last night, and they are unbelievably lame. Turns out, it's a lot harder to get an idea for this than it looks. (But it's also even more fun than it looks.)

Edit: I just did some more. (I also rearranged the first two so that the less lame one was at the bottom. Finishing with a bang, as it were.) I've been working on these for most of the afternoon and ... I've gotta say, this is a good thing. I was really upset about something very minor but very triggering for someone in my situation, and this is helping me to feel better, by giving me something else to focus on. It's ... almost therapeutic, in a way. (And it doesn't cost 85 bucks an hour!)

EDIT: To asad: There's something called an "edit" button, at the bottom right of a post.
EDIT 2: But other than that, they're really good.
EDIT 3: Ruined another xkcd, but I think it's already been ruined before.
EDIT 4: I was right, so I'm removing it.

Okay, I got an idea for the Escher band (it's just a normal band with "WWJD" on it), but my scanner is broken so I can't draw and upload it (it's too hard to make an edit using MSPaint, so I drew the thing), so I'm reserving that idea until I get a better scanner, okies? Okie. (wtf???)

Anyway, here's another one (which is really bad):

Though, it did look awfully familiar. Let me check through the thread... Yep, it was in the OP... sort of.

Yes, he is. The second post was made close enough to the time the first post was that the Edit button would have been better than making a second post (just 30 minutes after).
