XKCD

Post by yellow m&m »

This is sort of inspired by the newest registered member of this forum: xkcd***.
My question has been asked on the board a few times, but I want to know from you guys: what is your favorite XKCD comic?
One of my favorites has to be this one: http://xkcd.com/55/ but http://xkcd.com/175/ and http://xkcd.com/281/ are also awesome.
(If you don't know what I'm talking about, go to http://xkcd.com/ and press random)

http://xkcd.com/10/ is worth a chuckle.

What is an apple infused with tin?

http://www.xkcd.com/408/ made me laugh recently.

http://www.xkcd.com/389/ too.

I dunno. There's a ton of great ones. It's hard to pin down a single great one.

Ditto.

Which in this case means "I'm too lazy to go find the ones I really like."

I will say that I love the 'my normal approach is useless here' shirt. I want it, except I'm not a math nerd or a helpless romantic.
The Epistler was quite honestly knocked on her ethereal behind by the sheer logic of this.

Then get it for a pajama shirt. It'll make you happy even if no one else sees it.

As for my favorite(s)... http://www.xkcd.com/152/ http://xkcd.com/247/ http://xkcd.com/396/ http://xkcd.com/405/ http://xkcd.com/407/ .... basically a lot. And I love the one about the man who fell sideways.

I'm also a fan of http://www.xkcd.com/389/ as well as http://xkcd.com/421/, among so many others. Good times.

#421 - I had a friend, who, every weekend would do this with pre skinned apples (minus the fire). Somehow it worked. She would stand over a plastic sheet while doing so, and would collect the remains for this amazing dessert thingy with snickers and whipped cream.

I would consider this how I am, except that I don't even play Guitar Hero, so I wouldn't even know that much.

The chemical symbol for Tin is??? Sn. Add that to apple, and you get Snapple-- then reread the comic and it will make sense lol
