I just actually learned something from a webcomic. It was xkcd again, and it related to pancakes. Specifically the International House of Pancakes, which is also known as IHOP. I was fully aware of both of these things, but had never linked the two, despite Sean Penn's character in the very moving I Am Sam constantly going on about the pancakes at IHOP. I am an idiot.
This is also largely an excuse to post the trailer for I Am Sam, and recommend that you watch it with a box of tissues. And that's not because it has Michelle Pfeiffer in it.
As an aside, if you click on the very subversive xkcd entry that sparked my revelation, it takes you to Amazon to buy House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski, which is a truly unique read.
