Is this sarcasm or are you actually being serious? If you're being serious, why are you letting such absurdly superficial issues determine whether to share a genuinely informative and intereseting article?


Someone could ask the same but backward,why waste a good article with childish animated gifs.


Because they're hilarious, that's why. How about having a sense of humor?


When the CERN scientists presented their Higgs boson findings in Comic Sans did you dismiss them because, Comic Sans\?

The gifs aren't necessary, but I found them refreshingly amusing. This article isn't for a professional press release for a scientific journal, it's aphyr's blog.

Why so serious?
