Comic 984 - Space Launch System



You can’t just sit round being artsy
If you want to roll the space-race yahtzee.
You need über-smart guys
And surprise surprise,
That usually means an ex-Nazi.


Original comic here.

I should perhaps stress that I personally am not in favour of recruiting Nazis for technological projects, although I do very much enjoy a game of Yahtzee.

Comic 983 - Privacy



Two college kids, Frisky and Foxy,
Were blocked by their room-mate’s raid. Poxy!
Not content with just stopping
Its fans from bed-hopping,
Warcraft now creates virgins by proxy.

Comic 982 - Set Theory



When sets start to cause you frustration
Don't yield to tears and ululation
Don't shout or get cross
Just remind them who's boss
It's called proof by intimidation.

Comic 981 - Porn Folder



There once was a man from Livorno
Whose system for stashing his porno
Was way more depraved
Than the content there saved –
Screwing file structures gave him the horn-o.


Original comic here.

BONUS CONTENT: There's an opportunity for a slightly arcane anglicised version of this one, so here it is:

There was a sysadmin from Leghorn
Whose system for stashing his peghorn
Was way more depraved
Than the content there saved–
Screwing file structures gave him the heghorn.

Comic 980 - Money



A meticulous chart that compares
The values of all the world’s wares?
If you want to see more
It’s right there in the store
Priced at just fifteen little green squares.


Original comic here.

Non-comic 979 - ???

Dear Reader, it's just as you fear
The comic has yet to appear
And since it is late
We'll both have to wait
You won't find no limericks here.

Classic comic 22 - Barrel - Part 3



There once was a boy in a drum
Who drifted in search of his mum.
He was caught, while unready,
In a fast-flowing eddy:
His future looks gloomy and glum.


Original comic here.

The third episode in this gripping tale. Parts 1 and 2 are here and here.
