Humor in Science and Theology

Probably depends on who was there first, the atheist or the church. If someone moves under the flight path of an airport, you can’t really expect the airport to shut down. I think the situation with the church is the pretty much the same.

But this humor … ha ha ha.

So this is a Romanian Orthodox Church presense on a gaming site?

@MarkD and @Combine_Advisor I’m a Christian. I spent a couple broiling summer nights in the beautiful Austrian countryside in a hotel room facing the little church across the street. Sometime in the middle of the night the church bell rang. Probably midnight. It sounded like it was in our room. After recovering from the (non-literal) heart attack I felt a lot like the athiest in this cartoon.

Somehow it is.

In spite of my complete ignorance of gaming (well, we did hav Space Invadeds on our Atari system whenI was in high school, and I have played Pacman a few times), the mind does go places with this….

I tend more to have the issue (on computers) that it is trying to be helpful, but is clueless about technical terms.

We upgraded to a voice recognition in our health system that does, paradoxically, very well with recognizing technical and obscure terms that I never heard of, but makes a mistake on common terms like “going shopping”! I’m learning all sorts of things! Our head cardiologist remarked the same thing (though I am sure he knows a lot more technical cardiology terms than I do)

The annoying ones are species names where there is an English word derived from the same root, and the only difference is the ending (e.g. adversarius)

Dilbert is rather less dark matter, since it is fairly evenly spread through space, with clumps around galaxies.

@beaglelady , is the bunny with a mask a movie or pop allusion? I don’t get it…

It’s an allusion to the ‘Alien’ movie (Sigourney Weaver) which is a suspensful (horror sci-fi) thriller where newly hatched aliens would parasitically fasten themselves to a human face. (The meme with the alien popping out of the poor victim’s stomach? - same movie, I think.)

[It took me a while of staring at that before I got it too - and usually I’m the one that has to have it explained to me, so thank you for helping me to feel good about being able to explain it to someone else! Oh - and as you may gather, it isn’t your family, heart-warming ET flick.]
