I'm no mathematician, so I had to think about them, but I got every one of those jokes.<br />XKCD is kind of like a cryptic crossword puzzle, if you're not willing to put any thought into them, there's really no point in reading the comics at all.<br /> Oh, & the nitpicking about fixing the layout error in the first panel? - Lame as hell; it's bitching about the drawing equivalent of fixing a typo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-22155584993562270782011-03-20T13:16:01.887-07:002011-03-20T13:16:01.887-07:00@ThePirateKing: We're talking about Randall I-...@ThePirateKing: We're talking about Randall I-Don't-Get-'Redo's Patrick Munroe, here, so I mean, he could've tacked that on...<br /><br />...If he hadn't been inspired by <a href="http://people.reed.edu/~emcmanis/radiation.html" rel="nofollow">a reactor specialist</a> who was taking time to answer questions about radioactivity recently.

The scale changes to show the vast differences in legal doses and actual doses brought up in the media lately. <br /><br />Then again, I have heard that the danger of radiation is more complex than just measurement in Sv (some isotopes are apparently more deadly than others). <br /><br />Also, it mentions Fukushima specifically, so it's pretty obvious that it was made recently.ThePirateKinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03855894192400453985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-68038867458836562772011-03-20T06:20:47.025-07:002011-03-20T06:20:47.025-07:00Also, this popped up in my twitter this morning.

It's a graph about radiation, and I'm not sure whether it was done about now(i.e., it's hype fishing) or done long ago and unburied due to all the hype surrounding the tragic disaster in Japan.<br /><br />All I have to say about it now is: what the heck is that about bananas? Why is the scale so spastic?(the same sized square goes from 0.05 to 20, then suddenly 10000 and then 1000000; that's growing 400-fold, then 500-fold and finally 100-fold for no good reason) And did the smaller charts need to be so horribly tacked onto the bigger ones?<br /><br />That's all for now, if anyone needs me, I'll be back in my burrow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-64982992514318675462011-03-20T06:11:34.399-07:002011-03-20T06:11:34.399-07:00IshowedUPafterCARLleft...serously, what the heck o...IshowedUPafterCARLleft...serously, what the heck of a name is this?!

It could be a queue thing or whatever, but at least THAT is constant. You KNOW when you get up on Monday that there will be a stupid comic waiting to be ridiculed.<br /><br />Now Rob, is it too much for us to expect the same from you? Can't you ready a review by T/Th/Sa or at the least W/F/Su? <br /><br />Say what you will, xkcd did suck, and does, but lately xkcdsucks is sucking worse. Heck, if you like the comic you can say so.
