May 6th, 2016: Okay so the coolest thing I got emailed to me after yesterday's comic was the idea that counting ISN'T math when we do it (because we're doing it by rote) but it IS math when birds do it (because they're reasoning through the process and reaching conclusions based on mathematical laws). I LOVE THIS IDEA SO MUCH. Nobody tell me if it's a bad idea because I love it.

One year ago today: shouts out to all my actual physicist friends, i know how much you love it when laypeople talk about quantum physics
