echinopsis posted:so why do people like those inuits and other almost exclusively carnivore cultures dont get scurvy because you get enough vitamin C from fresh meat and fish to prevent scurvy. supposedly the inuit found the survivors of the franklin expedition and tried to teach them to eat raw seal meat to survive, and were chased away for being filthy savages. the first expedition to actually go up and successfully search for evidence of what happened to the franklin expedition was led by an american army lieutenant who had the brilliant idea of actually having his men eat the native diet and lo and behold, they travelled for two years not dying of scurvy. shadok fucked around with this message at 23:48 on Feb 21, 2015 |

“If you’ve ever taken advice from a cartoonist, there’s a good chance it did not turn out well. For starters, it’s hard to know when a cartoonist is being serious and when he or she is constructing an elaborate practical joke. I’ve crafted pranks that spanned years, sometimes when no one was in on the joke but me. Some of those pranks are still percolating.” I was the victim of one of those pranks. And until reading this introduction, I did not know it. Here is what happened. When I launched IT-Harvest, my industry analyst firm, I had a brilliant idea for making my website “sticky”: publish a security themed cartoon every day. Adams had blogged frequently about helping beginner cartoonists launch their career so I sent him an email. I have to paraphrase these emails since I lost several years’ worth of email records, thanks to Yahoo. From: richard@it-harvest.com To: scott Hi Scott: I am launching a new website and I wondered if you could point me in the direction of a cartoonist who would like to create a daily security themed cartoon? I could work out a payment scheme whereby he/she got a penny per page view. I was quite amazed when the great man himself responded to my email, although disappointed by his reaction to my idea: From: Scott To: richard@it-harvest.com Richard: This is a horrible idea. It will never work. No cartoonist who is any good will ever work on these terms. -Scott Talk about balloon deflating. Oh well on to other things. But then a week later, on a Friday, I got the following email from Scott Adams. To: richard@it-harvest.com From: Scott Richard: I have been thinking about your proposal. I have become very bored with Dilbert and have been looking for something new. I will write your security cartoon. -Scott Wow! Pop the Champaign corks. This is HUGE! I am embarrassed to admit that I was truly excited. Not since the first time I got an email from a friendly business person in Nigeria has my head spun with the possibilities. I immediately shared the good news with my wife and kids. I forwarded the email to my brother who used to be a cartoonist. I started making bigger plans for the web site. After a weekend of cooling off I responded to Scott, accepting his offer and asking what the next steps should be. His response: From: Scott To: richard@it-harvest.com Richard: This is a scam, my email was hacked. -Scott I was shaken with disappointment. I was also impressed with the cleverness of hackers that target Scott Adams. Wow, they read and responded to his emails. That is pretty funny, even if I was the victim of the joke. I never published this story, even though the fact that Scott Adams’ email was hacked was news worthy. Until reading his admission that he has practical jokes that have been “percolating for years.” This was one of them! I was still falling for it eight years later because I took him at his word. That is how I was duped by Dilbert.
