How not to diet
Stephan Pastis nails it again! Click the image for a larger view at the "Pearls Before Swine" comic's Web site. Personally, I think getting older is a fundamentally flawed process.

It's not fair, I tell you! Peter

Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens, But always pity brought me back to earth; Cries of pain reverberated in m... more »
