This used to be just funny.
Thanks xkcd.
And as is now regular, a song: a relatively new (to me) sad song, Annie Use Your Telescope by Jack’s Mannequin. ☥

It started feeling like October.
I got stranded on the road.
You know where to find me,
Anytime you want me, Annie.
Annie, use your telescope.
So they made my life into a movie,
As if I could forget those years.
But I know where the time’s gone,
Just how well my mind’s been wandering.
Annie, use your telescope.
Telescope…
Annie, use your telescope.
When it’s late, don’t stop looking,
Where my eyes turn to glass.
When it’s late, don’t stop,
Annie, I will make it.
Hello? Is there anybody out there?
Hello? I’m only getting farther, oh…
It started feeling like October.
Annie, use your telescope.
Telescope…
When it’s late, don’t stop looking—
Annie, use your telescope.
Where my eyes turn to glass.
When it’s late, don’t stop—
Annie, use your telescope.
Annie, I will make it back.
Annie, I will make it…
Annie, I will make it…
Annie, I will make it…
Annie, I will make it.
