Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 17, 2012

One year they even had red and green Kleenex for Christmas. A red would come out after a green, and so on. I wonder how they did that, Pig?

Or what about some electrical box in the kitchen that turns soft white bread to black crunchy bread when it pops out?

must be connective tissue

I know some one who honestly felt that the next tissue popping up was proof that God exists. Whether God exists or not, that was just stupid.Yes, I explained it to him.

Google it, Pig….

Yet for all this scientific advancement, there are still questions whose answers we may never know, such whether or not the little light goes out when you shut the fridge door.

Whoa! Heavy question, Pig dude! Like, yeah, HOW do they do that thing?!

Like a thermos,keeps hot things hot and cold things cold. How does it know?

Don’t forget sandwich bags dispeance one at a time…usually.

Oh dear.. I think when I was a kid, I was Pig….I always wondered about that….And how when you flush the toilet, it uses up all the water in the tank…. but a few moments later you can magically flush it again!And the fire in the stove burner…it goes on and off without a match!But…. when I was about 6. I accidentally discovered a little button in the car door frame that turns out the dome light…and I realised… wow… the door pressed on it when it was closed.So I searched for one in the refrigerator door … and bingo! A different shape but the same function.No one else…. sigh… seemed to find my discovery as significant as I did…. but I was so proud.

Getting striped toothpaste out of a tube was always a mystery. :)

You know, normally I like Pig’s naivete. Then there are times like this where I want Rat to show up with a bat.

I saw that episode too, Stephen…

How about a magical box that heats up cold McDonald hamburgers?

actually, i’m still amazed that someone figured out how to make bread out of grass

Arthur C. Clarke sci-fi author

“The tides go in. The tides go out…”

The brilliant Arthur C. Clark is credited with that quotation.http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/776.html

Hmmm…I’m sure there is a Youtube video that explains it. Some sort of spring or a small monkey I reckon.

i know a tissue box that turns tan when there running low=)

@dukedougI believe it was Arthur C. Clarke.

@ Nabuquduriuzher It works with purple and orange too!

It was the late science fiction writer (and much more) Arthur C. Clarke.

Did anybody happen to mention Arthur C. Clarke?

origami…

: )

here’s a real mystery: how did anyone figure out that artichokes could be edible?

If someone could somehow make BROCCOLI edible…

Awwwwww. I love Pig.

I think it was Arthur C Clarke – sci fi author and scientist

There’s a rumor going around that it was Arthur C. Clarke.It’s a good idea to read the existing comments before posting.

how can we call this planet earth when clearly it is ocean—Arthur C CLARK

Now wait a minute, what did Al Gore invent?

WOW JESUS HAS RETURNED! KLEENEXES MAGICALLY APPEAR

Or that contraption where you put cold stuff in and for a very weird reason after a while it’s hot!?!?!?!?!??!!?

I’m holding out for the 4G Kleenex, I heard the 3G really blows.

What I want to know is how do they get peanut butter AND jelly into the same jar.

If you run out of tissue too soon it could be anti-climactic.

Like with a sad movie or something.

Arthur C. Clarke

Okay, I am now a little disgusted and fascinated at the same time.

HELLO????

. . . and how does medicine know where your infection and/or pain is, so it can help?
