I Don't Own a TV

I only own one TV. But it’s 46″ across. Also, it’s manufactured by Samsung.

I have no idea how any of this makes me feel, but I did find this xkcd graph somewhat amusing.

You’re probably already familiar with the xkcd webcomic, but if you’re not following the author’s “What if?” blog, you really should be. It’s like MythBusters, but for hypotheticals way too grand to actually test. If you’re into science or maths, you’ll love it, but even if you’re not, you’ll still find it approachable, hilarious and fascinating.

Today’s post, for example, answers this question from a reader in Germany:

Clicky clicky!
