I wanted to dedicate my 100th comic to two things I hold dear to my soul: Science and Dumbassery.  Making fun of string theory fitted that bill.  I used to know a guy who was OBSESSED with string theory.  Preached it like the word of a gospel.  Really, string theory is the conspiracy of choice for people who get a hard on thinking they know something about physics.  I used to be polite about thinking less of people for wasting brain cells on thinking about the subject at all, hid the fact that I equated string theory to mere mental masturbation.  The attempt to conceal my condescension lasted about ten minutes.  The problem is that once I started speaking up, I realized that the “string theory is stupid” camp is just as “hipster” as the “string theory rulez” camp.  Fuck!  The good news is I think I picked the higher IQ team.  But now I just keep my mouth shut or try to change the subject to tessellated Subway cheese wedges or something if string theory comes up.  (Really, I try to keep the company of individuals who I can rely on not to bring string theory up.  Prevention is better than a cure!)
