    If you follow the link for more information, turn to page 19

    If you only read the headline and post "FIRST!1!!1oneone!!1", turn to page 62 #chooseyourownadventure

    When I was a young'un, I tore through all the CYOA-type books at my local library. Afterward, I was feeling somewhat unsettled by the internal inconsistencies in the stories ("But why was my choice of "tackling the alligator" the only option that allowed me to be rescued from the tropical island nine choices later?").

    So I wrote to the authors. About eight or nine authors, I believe, and I asked them a litany of questions about why one choice caused a specific result further down the line, and what would have happened if choices X and Y were not available and how the different scenarios coexisted with each other.

    None ever replied.

    Guess I should have turned to page 63 and opened the sarcophagus instead. #chooseyourownadventure

    I choose the owl. Because owls are awesome. And since they're nightworkers, they don't have to worry about trading hour syndrome!

    @Cup of Pork Noodles? Give Me Shrimp!: And because of the asymmetric layout of their ears, they can pinpoint anyone talking behind his back in pitch darkness. And when he swoops down on the ass who talked smack, the specialized trailing edge of his feathers makes it so the jerk doesn't see it coming!

    I see this article as an excuse to show that picture, featuring the delightfully hilarious Schiller as Sharkboy.

    Ya know, I know another guy with presidential experience that's going to be out of a job right about the same time His Jobliness steps down. Maybe we should, ummm.. give him a chance?

    I know I shouldn't say this because I did the cover, but every time I look at Schiller as the Shark Boy, it cracks me up.

    Tim Cook will take over. Hes the better candidate but Jonathan shares the same design standards and quality expectations as Steve does.
