lilfluffSo, one of the webcomics I read is Misfile. The short sum-up of the story is this: "Once a slacker angel in heaven's records department was almost caught smoking a joint on duty. In his rush to clean up he shoved several files away without checking to see what drawer they went in. Unfortunately for him, while he didn't get caught violating the angelic say-no-to-drugs policy, he has been locked out of records due to a completely separate security crisis. Meanwhile, on down on Earth two teenagers wake up to discover side effects of their heavenly files being misfiled... Ash wakes up to discover that not only is he now a she, but that everyone remembers him always being a girl; while Emily is suddenly two years younger due two the last two years being dropped out of her folder before it was shoved back into the filing cabinets up in heaven."
Now, in some stories we would have seen someone try to molest Ash right at the start. Here it didn't happen until almost page 1800. Anyway, Ash has snuck over to visit Emily (who is currently grounded) and has told her about what happened. As a result Emily has decided to pass along some self-defense tips. Ash, really, she shouldn't have to tell you tip #3.
Fun webcomic. Just make sure you have plenty of time if you start. It has a sizable archive. Today's page is page 1,824 and while that includes cover pages and a few other non-story pages, that's still quite a few.

Or sometimes just personal stuff (I got thrown off of reading things by SM Stirling, not by the sometimes cringe inducing moments in his books, but by some of the positions he's taken on 'the great neverending internet copyright debate', namely his suggestion that it would be perfectly reasonable to require everyone to have all their computers checked annually (or heck, it might have been every 6 months) by the police with on the spot confiscation for the slightest perceived copyright violation).

The last time my sister ate mini shredded wheat cereal she was also listening to a tape with Shel Silverstein's Sarah Cynthia Silvia Stout (Would Not Take The Garbage Out). With all the description of all the trash that was piling up.
Now every time she thinks of shredded wheat cereal it makes her think of the list of trash...
