Despite my previous attempts at promoting Velociraptor awareness through this blog, it appears Velociraptors are still a major threat.

Today comes a Velociraptor Safety message from an XKCD reader Dr Daniel Snyder:

I notice that many of your comics revolve around people (including yourself) with a phobia of Velociraptor. This phobia revolves around Velociraptor overcoming some 70 million years of extinction and the geographic barriers between its home and yours, leaping out of the underbrush and/or through the kitchen, and doing unmentionable things to your innards with its teeth and claws.

Said Doctor holds a PhD in Vertebrate Paleontology, so is certainly more qualified than others who’ve given anti-raptor advice (such as Sam Neill).

Go read the full message, including some sage advice on how to adequately arm yourself against the inevitable Velociraptor attack.

Off to purchase several crates of grape juice.
