I've become a kleptomaniac.

I do not want to become one of those blogs that just reblogs random stuff from other people's blogs or YouTube videos, BUT I'm making an exception because this made me laugh so much. I stole it from David Malki ! who writes a comic called Wondermark that is consistently hilarious. To sum up, this is a slide from some talk he gave on "True Stuff from Old Books." The slides were all really weird, but this one I just could not make sense of:

PARDON? WHY IS ISABELLA LIKELY TO DIE OF CEREBROSPINAL MENINGITIS? WHAT HAS THAT DO TO WITH PERUSING VOLUMES? WHAT KIND OF CONTEXT COULD POSSIBLY RENDER THIS SENSIBLE?

Unfortunately the slides from the talk don't come with the talk itself, so I cannot answer these questions. Please leave any guesses in the comments. I promise to consider them carefully.
