  • Iluvator, on 07/09/2008, -6/+112So, is AbstruseGoose the new XKCD? That is, in terms of diggability - not content.
  • CarStan, on 07/09/2008, -3/+48oh, another Abstruse Goose, it must be a monday, wednesday or fri- wait, what?
  • saxreturns, on 07/09/2008, -7/+49Relevant it may be, but Dan Brown is a terrible, terrible writer.
  • peagle, on 07/09/2008, -1/+42Mirror: http://img230.imageshack.us/my.php?image=veritasvo ...
  • shitforbrains, on 07/09/2008, -1/+41I have accepted Hydrogen as my personal Savior.

    "In the beginning was Helium, and Hydrogen was with Helium and Hydrogen was Helium."
    "For Helium so loved the cosmos that it gave it smallest molecule, that whosoever believeth in it should not perish but have everlasting energy."
  • eazhar, on 07/09/2008, -11/+50wow a title that doesn't say NOT XKCD
  • rhinopig, on 07/09/2008, -1/+39And the actual retail price is... $299. Winner is serif69.
  • deathlyhallows, on 07/09/2008, -0/+37What do you mean? An African or European proton?
  • granolajoe, on 07/09/2008, -26/+60"Have you accepted the scientific method into your heart and given your life over to empiricism and reason?"
  • Mothrax, on 07/09/2008, -2/+33Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses
  • billbugger, on 07/09/2008, -1/+30This should answer your question.

  • BKred, on 07/09/2008, -4/+33Man, if these guys want to be the new xkcd they're going to have to invest in some much better servers...
  • Luigison, on 07/09/2008, -9/+37"What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen proton?"
  • wedges, on 07/09/2008, -6/+33it's a good premise, but it's wasted because they forgot to throw a joke in there somewhere.
  • stayputnik, on 07/09/2008, -2/+29I hear the jury's still out on science...

    (Bring back Gob Bluth!)
  • binnis, on 07/09/2008, -4/+30Don't you just hate it when those damn science evangelist come knocking at your door at appropriate times of the day spewing their logic!? Sheeesh!!!

  • Iluvator, on 07/09/2008, -4/+19I'd say the fundamentalist Christians, since it seems to be pointing out that scientists don't, in fact, do this.

    I've heard people argue that "logic" is as religious as "faith", but I don't think that's what AG is getting at here.
  • inactive, on 07/09/2008, -2/+16Why yes, yes I have!
  • rms099k, on 07/09/2008, -7/+20 1. Define the question
    2. Gather information and resources (observe)
    3. Form hypothesis
    4. Perform experiment and collect data
    5. Analyze data
    6. Interpret data and draw conclusions that serve as a starting point for new hypothesis
    7. Publish results
    8. Retest (frequently done by other scientists)

    I don't see close door because I'm diggin in there...though it is logical if some tells me what to think. Apparently their message got through to him!

  • Sherman901, on 07/09/2008, -0/+12wow, if i hadn't just read this i'd swear you'd made that all up!
  • inactive, on 07/09/2008, -3/+15503
  • dkruta, on 07/09/2008, -1/+13Hey... like the marine... ohhh...
  • ThinkBox, on 07/09/2008, -1/+13my lack of amusement answered my question.
  • peagle, on 07/09/2008, -1/+13http://img230.imageshack.us/my.php?image=veritasvo ...
  • gavin422, on 07/09/2008, -21/+32I invite everyone to please bury me, but this is not as good as xkcd. It's pretty derivative, not as funny, and if I start seeing both abstrusegoose and xkcd hitting the front page on a regular basis, I'm going to have to go on a puppy-killing spree.
  • richiewrt, on 07/09/2008, -0/+11Monty Python's Quest for the holy grail

  • InvertedDonkey, on 07/10/2008, -0/+10they said proton not photon
  • Teh1337Pirate, on 07/09/2008, -2/+12mirror? sites already down
  • inactive, on 07/09/2008, -3/+13I am personally convinced that no one ever really liked the Da Vinci Code, it just became so popular because people would read it, get pissed off, and then tell others how great it was so they could share in the suffering. Swear to God, the book should've ended with "And that's the story about how I managed to steal chunk of your life that you're never getting back."
  • defaultfilter, on 07/09/2008, -13/+22...so...is this making fun of fundamentalist christians or scientists?… or both?… or neither?
  • radsprack, on 07/09/2008, -0/+8867-530niieeeine
  • mercurywaxing, on 07/09/2008, -3/+11They are making fun of both. If you are anti-religion you can read it as making fun of what fundamentalists do. If you don't believe in reductionism it's making fun of scientsits who react to religions by copying their tactics in the manner of robert hutchins.
  • mctom987, on 07/09/2008, -2/+10911
  • xutopia, on 07/09/2008, -0/+709 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0
  • warispeace21, on 07/09/2008, -0/+7Hydrogen has risen!
  • SpencerMc, on 07/09/2008, -3/+10There are more than 2 webcomics out there.
    I'm not really sure why everyone is comparing this to XKCD.
  • Monkeydew06, on 07/09/2008, -0/+6You have no idea what scientology is... do you? You assume scientology has to do with science because of "scien".
  • denoxis, on 07/09/2008, -0/+6Moral of the story: It doesn't matter who you are, just don't knock on doors and try to inject your crap. They'll think you are crazy.
  • serif69, on 07/09/2008, -2/+8187
  • Monkeydew06, on 07/09/2008, -0/+6Eh? I don't know that... AHHHHHH!!!! *ejected into the fire*
  • billbugger, on 07/09/2008, -0/+5http://abstrusegoose.com/25
  • inactive, on 07/09/2008, -1/+6Much more reasonable than believing that we were created from nothing...
  • shitforbrains, on 07/09/2008, -1/+6Even better than that, it's reason to believe that if you leave a cloud of hydrogen around for 15 billion years, it eventually turns into you. Personally I think it's a waste of hydrogen.
  • serif69, on 07/09/2008, -1/+6Sweet! I always wanted a mirror! I hope I play Plinko...
