Anyone follow the xkcd cartoons? They're are written by an American engineer/cartoonist/scientific theorist (Randall Munroe).

Anyway, some of them are funny (imho):

but then there the ones that go right over my head with a loud whoosh, like this week's:

I can see the fun in the organic chemistry equation but the kinetic (kinematic) follows the "half m, v squared" pattern so it seems legit. After that? I should point out that in some of these cartoons there is often genuine information imtermixed with garbage.
