Maybe Slackenerny&#8217;s handing up of his thesis touched some of my nerve yesterday, I was laughing so hard and tearing so hard, it was like everyone in these comic strips were cheering (sorry, you&#8217;ll need some context if you haven&#8217;t seen phdcomics before &#8211; just go <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.phdcomics.com\">check it out<\/a>).
