XKCD presents “A-Minus-Minus”

If only I were crazy enough to do this…

E-bay used to seem like the most exciting thing online. We’ll isn’t it convenient that we have just been given a way to return it to it’s former glory!?! Mystery packages! How sweet would it be if you could buy something before ever knowing what it was? I mean, you wouldn’t spend a hundred dollars or anything, just a couple bucks. The anticipation and speculation alone could really spice up an otherwise boring day.

I actually can’t believe how easily this ties in, but I actually found a site that already does this. There is a website called Super Awesome Mystery Prize from which you can purchase a mystery prize. There are a couple different price options (shipping included) which relate to the size of the package you will receive. I have yet to order something but it looks like they’ve been in “business” for a while. Check it out: superawesomemysteryprize.com

Going back to XKCD, just let me say that this webcomic is more amazing than I can express. I wish I knew more about computer programming so that I could get half the jokes that Randall Munroe makes. However, the ones I do get are awesome.

Allow me to offer this introduction to the next comic: Management used to permit alcohol in meetings at my work. One day they took that privilege away (which didn’t bother me, since I don’t drink) but it really got me wondering why it was ever allowed in the first place. Thanks to XKCD, now I know.
