Michael Ian Black will Blow Your Mind

One of my favorite comedians just released a book titled "My Custom Van ... and 50 Other Mind-Blowing Essays That Will Blow Your Mind All Over Your Face". This is the ironic sort of mind-blowing, mind you, as illustrated by the first question of this interview from the Seattle PI:

Seattle P-I: Were you under the influence of any kind of mind-altering substance when you wrote essays titled, "I No Longer Love You, Magic Unicorn," "Testing the Infinite Monkey Probability Theorem" and "Chapter 19 of My Science Fiction Epic, 'The Pirates of Dagganon 6,' Which I Am Only Able To Write Because of a Generous Grant from the Makers of Barq's Root Beer"?

Black: The only mind-altering substance I was under is the greatest drug in the world -- love. Yes, it was love that inspired me to write the essays you mentioned. What kind of love? The kind that makes a fellow want to spread laughter and joy throughout the world. Also, I was on a lot of painkillers.

Another fun fact, his initials are MIB, which officially makes him one of the Men in Black. You don't have to buy the book, but the interview will blow your mind all over your pants. Maybe.
