As a change from captions on cat photos.

In a Beautiful Mind moment of schizophrenic clarity I saw the book for what it was: not a gentle introduction to life's most profound curiosity, but a primer for the parasitic offspring of an invisible invasion!

The Internet has spawned a legion of webcomics, blogs, commentaries and forums, and I'm sure that there are people out there who fill every waking moment by subjecting other people to a barrage of links to their favourite net memes. I've done my best to avoid that here, although now and then a link to something will sneak in.

In this case, however, I couldn't resist. There's just something about the Zogg invasion manual ...

Many years later...
My wife and I watched the first episode of Pluribus last night, and I thought to myself, "Wait, didn't that invasion guide by what's-his-name have something about an encoded virus?"  I checked my saved links and Jason Yungbluth's site rang a bell.  Sadly, for whatever reason the posting was no longer live, but fortunately there's a backup on web.archive.org (to which I redirected the link above), as well as a narrated YouTube™version.

  2. I spent a lot of time with a space alien a couple of years ago, which left me a bit sensitive to invasion-related content.
