happy 200th birthday, chuck

And reddit was there to celebrate it. See today's logo if you need any more convincing...
Now I'm off to a Darwin-themed pub crawl -- this is going to be more fun than carrying around dead finches on the HMS Beagle.

loldeconstructed: thumbcat is evolving

It was only a matter of time before cats started developing functional thumbs. It won't be long until they develop the ability to handle a pool cue.

Next comes gambling. Think stray cats are a problem now? Imagine what will happen when half of them have gambling debts and the other half carry around pool cues...Nature always finds a way, people. Didn't anyone else watch Jurassic Park?
Choose your side wisely.

I'm going to be stocking up on Friskies and catnip.

[intelligently] designing the reddit alien evolution

Our original alien was involved with some xenomorphs a while back and unfortunately didn't survive the encounter. We were left with no choice but to evolve a new mascot from a few spare cells we had lying around.

This logo series has run a little over four weeks now, since the alien first applied for U.S. citizenship. I'm off to Oktoberfest on Wednesday, so expect a brief hiatus while I kill a few brain cells and hopefully find some more inspiration at the bottom of my Maß.

Anyway, here's the recap -- print it out for your next bio class:
