Yet Again, I Love XKCD

Today's XKCD is entitled Umwelt and has the mouseover text Umwelt is the idea that because their senses pick up on different things, different animals in the same ecosystem actually live in very different worlds.

This is different, apparently a case of umwelt. So, what's it look like using Firefox?

Yet Another Gem from XKCD

The mouseover text is "100 years later, this story remains terrifying--not because it's the local network block, but because the killer is still on IPv4."

Diebold can run (as Premier Election Solutions[sic]), but they can't hide
