This cartoon is making it's way around (click it, you'll like it.) It's art inspired by the style of Bill Watterson. The words are from a 1990 commencement address he gave. Here's more on that address. It's well worth reading the whole address, but here's the gist of it:

That is awesome. That's better than Bill O'Reilly talking about how no one understands the tides. How far did you get in the movie?

"The Secret" is on Netflix. Just saying. Only took a few minutes to get to this golden quote:
"Now, if you don't understand it, it doesn't mean you should reject it. You don't understand electricity, probably. First of all, no one even knows what electricity is, and yet you enjoy the benefits of it. Do you know how it works? I don't know how it works. But I do know this: You can cook a man's dinner with electricity... and you can also cook the man."

so, uh, that fortysomething post was me. I forgot to log in... oh well.
But I'm logging in for this, because it's excellent.
A brief article on taking a polygraph for a job with the US National Security Agency: I Sexually Harassed My NSA Polygrapher.
I think this is why overthinkers get in trouble... "don't let your mind wander" hah!
