xkcd - Another Good One

[Cirrus2000]

I think this place needs a thread dedicated to xkcd comics - I'm always wanting to post the ones that make me chuckle, but don't really have a spot. Here it is...

Mouse-over text: Three headstones down, I got a call from my mom and it went from bad to worse.

[Don]

It's not xkcd but I think it has the right flavor.

Oh dude, this one had me in my cubicle in silent tears of laughter.

Shaun, that one about "Someone is wrong on the internet" has become an acronym - "I went all SIWOTI on some n00b last night on Bogley". That is one of my all time faves. If they had a T-shirt of that, I'd get it. I am considering this t-shirt:

or maybe (for the skeptic in me):

Classic.

Another "my hobby" xkcd that's great:

Don - sometimes the guy can totally do the wistful tear-to-the-eye thing. He can really nail it.

Shaun, I love both of those. Especially the zits on L337 dood's face. :haha:

[ststephen]

Yeah, "been there, done that" to Don's post. This one hits home for me as a combination Math-geek and, well...guy.

That's the point right? :lol8:

I recently read a bit about island dwarfism in Richard Dawkins' The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution so this one seemed pretty funny this morning.

:roflol: I love that one! I just printed it for a lady I work with who really fits the character speaking first in that comic.

Hover text:


They actually started the reversed-text practice in 1973 -- not for ease-of-reading reasons, but because too many people were driving backward down the highway blasting the Star Wars opening theme.

Ah, this is neat. An xkcd wedding cake.

Hover text: What'll I say -- "I was staring at some cat vomit when I got the news?"

[Don]

Whenever people act all worried about me going canyoneering I explain that statistically I have a better chance of dying driving to or from work than in a canyon.

So I found this funny:

Good one. Reminds me of "Shattered Air", the book about the electrocutions on Half Dome.

XKCD is ****ing cool as shit.

[Cirrus2000]

For all the geeks frustrated by tech support dumb-down.

http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/tech_support.png

Hover text: I recently had someone ask me to go get a computer and turn it on so I could restart it. He refused to move further in the script until I said I had done that.

Hahahaa the funny thing about this is that I install these systems and pretty every one has a backdoor that takes you to tier two tech support. You can bypass the level 1 retard every time.

I don't know why but the part about cargo pants cracked me up, because I wear cargo pants to work everyday.

[Don]

LMAO! I love that one! :roflol:

[accadacca]

Hilarious. :roflol:

[Cirrus2000]

Ah, some excellent skepticism from xkcd:

http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/the_economic_argument.png

"Not to be confused with 'making money selling this stuff to OTHER people who think it works', which corporate accountants and actuaries have zero problems with."

[Don]

Wow, that's even a good argument. I'm going to end up using this in a real discussion one day... :nod:
