Pillow Talk
Maybe I should've tried Wexler?
Title text: Maybe I should've tried Wexler?

Explanation

The Bellman-Ford algorithm is an algorithm that calculates the shortest path(s) through a weighted digraph or collection of connected nodes or vertices. The "Wexler" in the title text refers to Wexler's algorithm, which is used to deal with the inverse problem of electrical impedance tomography, or simply stated: the electrical conductivity of an (inhomogeneus) object.

Both of these would make terrible pillow talk. Pillow talk is the conversation made by lovers after they have had sex, and is usually relaxed and intimate instead of technical.

Transcript

Cueball: Staring at the ceiling, she asked me what I was thinking about.
Cueball: I should have made something up.
Cueball: The Bellman-Ford algorithm makes terrible pillow talk.

Trivia

  • The number of this comic is 69. This number is a term for mutual oral sex, sex being the subject of the comic.

Discussion

How terrible of "pillow talk" it makes depends heavily on how geeky your significant other is. My wife has a T-Shirt that reads, "Talk Nerdy to Me!" -- mwburden 70.91.188.49 21:53, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
