    Anyone been following this? As if the comic wasn't smashing enough! I've been enjoying it immensely, it's a rather excellent use of a scientific approach to simple questions:

    Ask Krikkit to reset it to 33333, take a screenshot for the album/grandkids, and set it back again. Nobody will ever know :worried:

    Makes you wonder how different Lord of the Rings: Return of the King would have been if Rohan's soldiers had shouted 'For Science' instead of 'For Death' while racing toward the Orcs...

    For me I consider smbc to be a better webcomic for science than xkcd.

    Nice work my friend.

    On another note, I go to all the trouble of colour matching my avatar backgrounds to the light colour scheme then you go and screw it up by using the dark skin! Nooooooooo!

    Is there any way I can make it transparent so it picks up the colour of whatever's behind it? What skin do other people use?

    It's supposed to look like this:
