Magneto Vs. Wolverine: Who Will Win? [COMIC] (10)
onThis is Wolverine and Magneto's first appearance in SMBC. Also, Sean Carroll, Hero of Physics, is helping bring science into classrooms via donations. So, for those of you who are hoping the next generation of scientists succeeds in making flying cars and time machines, now's your chance to make a difference. For each dollar donated, I'll drink ten gallons of hot sauce. I won't show it or do anything to prove it, but it definitely ...Shared by Ahsan Navid Hussain (499) Borzo (17) Chetan Thaker (101) Christopher Yee Mon (141) Jess (19) Leena (1134) Lorenzo (24) Matt (31) Mr. BabyMan (511) n8dude (59)Contribute comment

- jlapenna said: clockwork orange?
- L'oracolo said: Sacrosanto. Odio dover tenere un vocabolario personale per capire cosa diamine sta scrivendo l'autore...
- Satyajit Grover said: Ha ha! xkcd disses Anathem, which I'm currently reading.
- Chris Miller said: Anyone who has heard me rant about the suck factor of most fantasy novels can get behind this one.
- danweasel said: I assume Shakespeare gets an exception too.
- Rodrigo Amaya said: Ridiculamente cierto...
- df said: So true.
- Roosh said: I'm reading Anathem right now and my only thought is "Oh God, this is soooo true"
- Ryan said: @M: funny you should say that. if you hold your mouse over the image and read the tooltip he says the same thing.
- MiramarMike said: Yes!
- Tom said: Fuck yeah! SciFi / Fantasy wouldn't be half as bad if it wasn't for all those stupid new words. Are the authors 5?!?!
- Ian said: @Brandon: It (Anathem) is sitting on my shelf right now. I'll probably start it on the plane and let you know how it is.
- Tim Saylor said: I'm not sure how it works out, but this needs to be extended to extensive use of slang: "Yo' ole father doan' know, yit, what he's a-gwyne to do. Some- times he spec he'll go 'way, en den agin he spec he'll stay." - 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn', unreadable novel
- sideb0ard said: heh, someone else reading Anathem too!
- pberry said: This does not bode well for Anathem.
- César C said: Primera vez que recuerde yo que no estoy de acuerdo con xkcd. Anathem no está nada mal (después de algo más de 150 páginas).
- Benjamin said: This is one of the reasons I never liked The Lord of the Rings.
- Dave said: Ummm, A CLOCKWORK ORANGE by Anthony Burgess anyone? That one novel breaks your thumb at the rule.
- Aaron Jamison said: What about Dr. Seuss though? =/
- Bill said: The mouse-over text deals with most of the obvious exceptions.
- Busybee said: Harry Potter would really suck according to this rule. LOTR would be unbearable.
- Meromo said: True true true.
- Jan said: Stuff from XKCD occasionally shows up in my FriendFeed or Google Reader feeds and is usually good for a few laughs
- jrhyley said: Randall Munroe did not care much for Anathen. Having finished it about 15 minutes ago myself, I only partially agree with him. This is only the second Stephenson work I didn't gobble up with a level of fanboy glee usually reserved for space operas. It is only the first time I haven't wholeheartedly agreed with something expounded upon in xkcd. The level of internal conflict I have about both of these is... disproportionate.
- Robin said: Truth. Glad he said "except for Lewis Caroll or Tolkein."

onI felt like, after a few days of perversion, murder, and drugs, I needed to put things back on track with a bible story. Today's webcomic homey is the celebrated, beloved, and very tall Ryan North, of Dinosaur Comics. If you're not familiar with Dinosaur comics, you've probably got your head in the... the... what's that grainy stuff on the beach? I forget, since I never leave my apartment.Shared by Jess (19) Surround|ed| (39)Contribute comment

onUPDATE: Left a word out of the comic. It didn't look like a typo because the sentence still made sense. Should be 24% funnier now. Updating from optics class! It's okay, I already know everything. Tonight's update will be on time. Promise!Contribute comment
