State an obvious fact and see who is the quickest to find a citation

Panel 1:
Man with flame-like red hair (excited, leaning toward laptop): "AHA! HA! This paper provides an example of cow bodies becoming petrified over time. If they can CHANGE to rock, that implies that 'cows are not a kind of rock.'"
Woman standing beside him: "WOW! Only 72 straight hours on Google Scholar!"

Votey:
Handwritten text inside a drawn box:
"First person to send me a citation for 'gorillas can't fly' gets ten internet points."

A webcomic titled "NEW GAME: State an obvious fact and see who is the quickest to find a citation." A wild-eyed man with curly, flame-red hair grips a laptop and shouts triumphantly: "AHA! HA! This paper provides an example of cow bodies becoming petrified over time. If they can CHANGE to rock, that implies that 'cows are not a kind of rock.'" A woman with glasses stands behind him looking unimpressed and says, "WOW! Only 72 straight hours on Google Scholar!" The joke: he's spent three sleepless days finding an academic citation to prove something obvious. Votey (aftercomic): a hand-lettered note in a box reads, "First person to send me a citation for 'gorillas can't fly' gets ten internet points."
