[Updated] This strip by David Gerrold and Filmation had to have made the rounds, but in case it didn’t, please enjoy, and thank you, @pkay225.
I am such a nerd I don’t know when something is real and something is a spoof. Oh, how the online nerdverse perplexes H-Dude.

I’ve been running around like a mad woman for the past couple weeks. Family down, house stuff, first real épée tourney (and tied for third), more time in a car than I care to think about, a rebuilt transmission, team dinners, fascinating talks on consumption, and puppies.
Crazy, but good. Very good.

“So like, right now for example. The Haitians need to come to America. But some people are all, “What about the strain on our resources?” Well it’s like when I had this garden party for my father’s birthday, right? I put R.S.V.P. ‘cause it was a sit-down dinner. But some people came that like did not R.S.V.P. I was like totally buggin’. I had to haul ass to the kitchen, redistribute the food, and squish in extra place settings. But by the end of the day it was, like, the more the merrier. And so if the government could just get to the kitchen, rearrange some things, we could certainly party with the Haitians. And in conclusion may I please remind you it does not say R.S.V.P. on the Statue of Liberty. Thank you very much.”
This quite literally made my day.
On this day:
On 11 June 1509 Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon were married in a private ceremony in a Franciscan Church in Greenwich. This was Catherine’s second marriage (her previous marriage was to Henry’s brother Arthur from 1501 until his death in 1506) and Henry’s first of six marriages. Catherine’s many pregnancies led to only one surviving child, Mary, and the lack of an heir fueled the annulment of the marriage. Catherine was passionate about education, of herself, her daughter and others (education of women of course being quite limited at this time). The annulment occurred in 1533 and Catherine died three years later, as her health had been deteriorating.
