Now You Tell Me


Many of us have been in the situation where we've spent the entire weekend working on a paper in a library. You've spent a great deal of time researching, tracking down essays and articles, sifting through mountains of scholarly journals, wading through a seemingly endless supply of dust covered textbooks, thoroughly digging and digging and digging around for sources to prove your point.  Then, finally, you find the four or five good reliable sources that you were looking so hard for.  You write your paper, turn it in, and feel this overwhelming sense of accomplishment.  Then a couple of months or weeks or even days go by, and you happen upon an article that does more to prove your point than the sources in your paper do combined.  In that moment you, exasperated at what you just found, cry out, "WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU WHEN I NEEDED YOU!!!"




I wonder if Miranda Barbour would say that after seeing the graphic posted above.
