Bone(d)?
While I don't believe in banning books EVER, I sometimes understand the motivation behind the desire to do so. But not this time. This one is just plain dumb.
A woman in Minnesota has requested that the comic book, Bone, be removed from the shelves of her son's school library. Now, I have read Bone (thanks again to Ticknart for that!), and there is nothing remotely offensive in that book. In fact, I think there's more offensive and sexually-laden material in an Archie comic. Bone is just a great read for all ages.
My favorite thing is this response from Bone creator, Jeff Smith:

"My conclusion is that some people aren't smart enough to read comic books."

Filled With Noodles
I'm sure it gets old, and I'm sure there are drawbacks, but a part of me really wishes that I worked in a place that had to post a sign like this:
BOOBQUAKE!!!
I wholly endorse this idea:
On Monday, April 26th, I will wear the most cleavage-showing shirt I own. Yes, the one usually reserved for a night on the town. I encourage other female skeptics to join me and embrace the supposed supernatural power of their breasts. Or short shorts, if that's your preferred form of immodesty. With the power of our scandalous bodies combined, we should surely produce an earthquake.Found via this delightful comic strip.

My fellow computer science nerds-- look:
A functioning Turing machine! OK, it doesn't have an indefinitely extensible tape, but you get the idea.
