The Tangent Side Blog

The Tangent Side

The science is always wittier on the Tangent Side. Here you'll find puzzles, games, and a hand-drawn webcomic aimed to reveal the humor that sometimes only a technical mind can appreciate. The Tangent Side comic was created by Doug Terhune (Juzek89) originally as a fun project/distraction amidst the rigors and long lectures of engineering college.

This has been well documented in animals.

All you do is throw yourself at the ground and miss.

Reality is a reoccurring theory often proven wrong.
