Xkcd meets reality
- DannoHung 17y agoAhhh, undead math. I love it. Actually, I watched Ghostbusters tonight and in the scene where Gozer asks them to pick their doom, I wondered what would have happened had Ray thought of like... a triangle, or maybe a platonic solid.
- Retric 17y agoSome how I can see the ending working with a giant Triangle of DOOM that attacks and shoots lighting ect. "Hmm, don't see that every day." "I thought I would pick something safe from my childhood."
- mellis 17y agoFor another example (admittedly less spectacular) of xkcd appearing in a real-life context, see Ross Douthat's review of Mark Helprin's screed on copyright: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/21/books/review/Douthat-t.html?_r=1 http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/21/books/review/Douthat-t.htm...

- daleharvey 17y agoI think the youtube speaking peoples comments back to them has to be the best xkcd come to life http://xkcd.com/481/ http://xkcd.com/481/
- TrevorJ 17y agoI'm a bit creeped out by the real-life explanation, if only becasue I JUST finished watching an episode of "House" where the same thing happens. Apparently this is a theme of late.
- g_ 17y agoNitpick: it's written xkcd or XKCD, not Xkcd. (Source: http://xkcd.com/about http://xkcd.com/about)
