This year's QI Annual includes an awesome cartoon by Justin Pollard, John Lloyd and Stevyn Colgan: IKEA's instructions for the iconic prehistoric monument. I love the caption at the bottom, which reads: Important! Ensure all components are free from mud, dung and evil spirits before assembly. Wear appropriate safety equipment (spear, flint knife etc.) in the event of bears. Small parts are not included.

No, scratch that — check out their entire selection because you're sure to find something you like! Via Nerdlike....
