   I wish this weren’t such a complete explanation for everything that’s going wrong with the world right now.

   What does it matter that it was a female traffic cop? Why wouldn’t you say you just got pulled over?

   Goat might want to swap seats unless he wants to find out the hard way why the front seat is shotgun.

   Pay her no attention Bub. You’re above such cheap dime store philosophy. Of course the world still exists when you’re not looking, it’s called object permanence. Don’t worry about that pesky twin slit experiment where the very act of observing changes the outcome!

   “Lack of preparation on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part”. Habitual lateness is a choice and it says that you don’t value other people’s time.

   Endotherms generate a basal amount of body heat, but can thermoregulate within a wider band of ambient temperatures by techniques such as panting or shivering. The comic shows snow on the ground, so shivering would be the appropriate mechanism to extend functional range. Ectotherms have body temperatures the same as ambient and so wouldn’t benefit from an insulating coat – that’s why there aren’t furry lizards. Some ectotherms can use muscular contractions to generate heat (e.g. some insects shiver to warm up their flight muscles) but lizards and frogs don’t. Go find some other topic to get worked up over, because you’re just wrong about this one.

    Which truth might that be? That you knowingly voted for a sociopath with the attention span of a bowl of tapioca pudding?
