XKCD: It's more than a comic

Now that's funny.

Princess Aurora is underrated, pass it on.

Looking at the schedule for Randall's book tour, I noticed that one of the places he's visiting is like two blocks from my house. I guess I don't have much excuse not to go... except it's sold out already. Welp, there you go.

What exactly would he talk about anyway?

Might I sugest agin, a skul-gun for my head. Yesterday in Batery Park, some scum we all know pushes smack for NSF gets jumpy and draws. I take 2 .22's, 1 in flesh, 1 in augs, befor I can get out that dam asalt gun.

If I could kil just by thought, it would be beter. Is it my job to be a human target-practis backstop?

Are you quoting someone? The pain.

The joke in today's strip is good old fashioned homonym confusion: "canon" vs. "cannon".

If I say I have "headcanon", that means I've got my own personal ideas about the plot or continuity of a work that I prefer over the official version. If I say I have a "headcannon", that means I've got a large gun in or on my skull.

Theoretically speaking, wouldn't the recoil be enough to snap your neck?

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

Depends on the size of the gun, I guess. An actual, old school, smoothbore cannon wouldn't fit on a person's head, rather obviously, so it would have to be smaller.

^^ Possibly, but judging from the arc I'd say there wasn't all that much force applied to the projectile in the first place.

The fact that the alt text isn't a Diamond Age reference is pretty disappointing.

Fire, air, water, earth...legend has it that when these four elements are gathered, they will form the fifth element...boron.

I'd probably think it was funnier if it were a new joke to me

What If? #107: "Letters to Mom"

That must be the fourth or fifth iteration of it I've heard.

Dopants: He meant what he said and he said what he meant, a Ninety is faithful 100%.

Wait a minute. It answered how to deliver a physical object on that distance. But the question was delivering a hand-written letter, not any physical object. So why don't you just scan it and send it via e-mail?

Because if you allow digital transmission, the answer is "the blink of an eye", and kind of boring.

Then why mention walking at all? There are some other What If-s that describe something in detail, then in the end mention that it would be better if you <easy solution>.

#1402: Harpoons

I'm more than a little curious about this "Apollo 12 rum incident"...

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"

This one made me laugh.

Princess Aurora is underrated, pass it on.

Pffft.

So... the Chewbacca Defense?

Laughing out loud with this one, that's rare. 8-)

Heh. You think we professors dont plan ahead? Boobytraps!
