I asked him: Are you sure you want to see Jack Welch in a red Speedo?

The Speedo Rally Volley, while longer than I prefer (why are shorts today so darned long?) is a nice pair of men’s swim trunks with two front mesh pockets, and a rear zippered pocket. They make good walk around shorts too. The exact same style used to be called the Speedo Roofer, but it was an inch shorter, which I liked better.

Oh, yeah, and the XKCD article is fun too, but any devoted reader would expect that. He also has a couple of nice comics about relative sources of radiation exposure and comparative energy density of various fuels, including uranium.
