  1. To be really honest, a third column is missing with "untested". Sadly, that's undoubtably the largest column, and it would obscure the point of the comic as well.

    But the mouseover-text already makes that clear anyway …

  2. Ha-ha! I have three of his t-shirts. I love the battle-cry "Stand back! I'm going to try SCIENCE!!"

    Yeah, I love XKCD. It was the Bad Astronomer who turned me on to him, long, long ago.

  3. The number of people in the xkcd message board thread about this comic that are arguing for woo woo makes my head hurt :(

  4. I own 4 of his T-shirts (my favorite being "SCIENCE, it works bitches").

    I'm currently actually wearing the "my normal approach is useless here".

    I would link the shirts if his store hadn't been down for over a week now. I actually could have used the background radiation link from that first shirt for the discussion about the big bang with our new fundie friend.

    Woo in XKCD? Maybe I should pop on over and make a few comments in that thread.
