A Shtikl Cartoon

Sometimes I stumble upon a cartoon I wish very, very badly I had written myself. Yesterday was such a day. I asked Doug Savage, the brilliant mind behind Savage Chickens, and he allowed me to post that cartoon here for you.

Great, isn’t it? Go check out the original post.

Or, just be around people with smaller boxes.

Beautiful! I love the Chicken cartoon, too! Sometimes we just need a reminder that no matter how intricate we believe our brains to be and no matter how important we think our realizations are, life really comes down to a very few crucial fundamentals. Whether I will be able to program it or not, I’m really looking forward to learning and maybe even understanding a little about Pragmatism. With the new semester approaching I feel all full of new energy. My mind is a sponge thirsty for new worlds of thought to open up. I can’t wait to check out all the new boxes awaiting to be inspected by me. Maybe I’ll find one or the other comfortable one. Which brings me to the question: Can one Shtikl inhabit more than one box and if so, how would that work?

Köstlich, herrlich und perfect!

P.S.
I can never figure out the instructions on how to fold the boxes together.

P.S. The chicken cartoon is good too. Probably trying to work out the quickest way for a chicken to cross a road, or which came first: the chicken or the egg.

@indie: the chicken-egg dilemma is solved. The egg came first. A creature’s genetics usually don’t change within its lifetime. So if any mutation from x to chicken happened, the differentiating mutation must have been between the creature laying the egg and the first chicken-egg.

I’m glad that problem has finally been solved. Impressive what all you can do with logic.
