Why your argument sucks...

I’ve been really happy lately to discover that some of the funniest people I follow on Twitter are also hysterical on Tumblr. The link above comes from one such account.

Part of why I dug this post so much was that I was two credits away from a second major at Brown in “Logic” through the philosophy department, I often regret that I didn’t follow through, and I look for good discussions of the craft of logic wherever I can get them (ironically, the classes I needed to fulfill the degree weren’t logic classes, but early modern philosophy classes). I really enjoyed constructing and deconstructing arguments, and have found the practice quite useful in the “real world”.

The link above was largely borrowed from Wikipedia (without the intent to deceive), and, if you like this sort of thing, you should check out the great “see also” links at the bottom of that page, like common misconceptions.
