    • .@Fuitad Rest assured I miss DRIVE, too. It'll be back soon: I'm in the final 2-3 weeks of crunch-time for *my* workload on the film.

    Wired Magazine

    You may not have noticed the headline in panel two, but it's one of those small details that makes me chuckle.

    First, a preface: I'm a "Wired" reader through-and-through. As a magazine, it appeals to all the best parts of my core nerdiness. But when I imagine the vast spectra of Wired readers, I always chuckle when I compare the real Wired headlines to the ones I imagine Wired readers would be most interested in, such as:

    "Kissing: What's It Like?"

    "Girls: Why Are They So Scary to Talk to in the Cafeteria at my Programming Job?"

    "Robots: When Will it be Possible to Marry Them?"

    Shots

    My Doctor: Oo, looks like you're due for a tetanus shot.

    Me: OK.

    My Doctor: Any preference for what arm I give you the shot in?

    Me: Nah, I'm good. Either one is fine.

    ....

    My Useless Drawing Arm, The Rest of the Day: Curse you, Dave! Curse you a thousand, ancient curses!
