Magic

"May the gods have mercy! The Death Legions of Krak-Tukat outnumber us ten to one! We shall face thousands of howling blood-thirsty beasts!"

"Stand back! I shall summon the Firestorm of Palizant upon them and our men will only need to finish off their charred remains!

"Palizant'es tilmara uka-uka rimbombatur! ZZRAK!

"Well, I suppose you're not so unsophisticated as to expect magic to have an observable effect on physical reality, right? Its value is in the metaphors it gives us to better understand ourselves!"

"RUN!"

Excommunication

Rome, January 3rd, 1521

Mr. Martin Luther:

It is my duty as president of the Holy Trinity Fan Club to inform you that your membership has been revoked due to your insistence on writing fan fiction that strays notoriously from canon.

Sincerely,
Leo X

Petition

"... and they demand that punishment be interrupted for one day every week, and be proportional to the offense, and..."

"Whose idea was it to send every activist rebel down here? Huh?

"I don't care! I told you many times to always create a light before moving upon the face of the waters!"

Research paper

Positive results in a qualitative meta-analysis of complementary and alternative medicine
Dr. Karl Heiligenschein, M.D.

Abstract
Traditional scientific lore in academia holds that complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has no proven clinical effectiveness beyond placebo. The present paper examines the available sources of information and arrives to the conclusion that such claims have no basis in reality.

Two years!

That's right, ladies and gentlemen: it's two years since Flea Snobbery had the idea of existing. So much has happened along the way; I can barely believe that humble, unpromising cartoon about cyanobacteria spawned this humble, unpromising blog about a variety of topics.

As a celebration, there will be no cartoon today. There will be something else.

Go ahead, choose the something else that fits you best:

• 640 x 480
• 800 x 600
• 1024 x 768
• 1152 x 864
• 1280 x 1024
• 1600 x 1200

Yes! Now you can use Flea Snobbery to decorate your screen, take it whenever you go, and proudly maximize your windows to hide your desktop whenever someone walks by. Enjoy it!
