Sounds like someone is trying to justify the philosophy degree they've chosen.

Not yet. But it is a vast collection of funny factoids on how human mind thinks it works. Could be useful for a human mind science to come.

Are you saying that by studying philosophy, that made him dislike college? I'm not sure what your point is, Don.

Zach studied philosophy in college.

Why does it seem that Zach is anti-college? Granted, this one isn't (if anything, it seems pro-college), but SMBC #2729 is very anti-college. Is he just jealous because he's not in college anymore or something?
(also, did anyone else notice that the dates below the comics go June 12, 12, 13, 15)
