I love Christmas

Sheer awesomeness! This joke kills me every time.  Do send a link to this to all of your social scientist friends. I did.

But what does this have to do with maps?  It's a stretch, but any GIS data junkie understands the paramount importance of maintaining good control data.  But mostly this is here because it fits so very nicely with yesterday's post.... and it's very, very funny.

Mad Social Scientist

Girl Genius (by Phil and Kaja Foglio) may be my most favorite webcomic ever.  This one and tomorrow's posting are a matched set because both feature this wonderful character: The mad social scientist.  It might be because half of my college degree is in sociology (the other half is geology).  But it's more likely simply because this webcomic is simply brilliant!
