Mindy Klasky () has a post up at Magical Words about the patronage system, which is full of great questions that I want to steal for my own blog topic right here, but instead I send you there to discuss it! *sends, sends*!

XKCD is usually terrific anyway, but this one is particularly awesome. Depths of the world’s lakes, seas, oil wells…. Also the mouseover text on the embedded comic is unusually heartbreaking, though you sort of have to start by reading the first one I linked to so you can see what the mouseover is talking about.
