I am always tripping over the lines of latitude and longitude. They are worse than border lines.

I would figure Old Age would apply to all the various eras.

For the first and last ones I get 3 (three) but I am not absolutely certain that it is a number.

2 = ah
4 = wait
5 = never
4 = mind

Now I just need to find your card.

Why not just hang a left onto the empty road?

When I have a cold Hot and Sour soup is something that sounds like and actually is a good idea. A quite good idea. After reading about Diverging Diamond Interchanges... I can't help but think that they would result in a lot of Crumple Zones. So it should be above the middle and into the Actually a B...

On a 14 inch screen Wyoming is actual size.

Arrghhh
Thanks for that correction. I was not thinking when I posted the comic URL instead of the explanation of the comic.

Here is the permanent address

Kind of a fun thing. I am not sure if I want to use the fewest things to make it work, or should I try and use everything. Expalain xkcd has a good set of descriptions of what the various things do. https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page That url will work until there is a new comic po...

The text also says "We know, Carl." If there was just the narrator and Carl onboard wouldn't it be more correct for the narrator to say "I know, Carl."

I seem to recall a role playing game called "Science the Gathering" being quite popular back in the day. Does anyone else remember it?

I have never killed anyone ... in 1978... in Kansas... which resulted in my conviction.

There is no way I am going to build the roof for this particular structure.

I had a moment of panic as I tried to figure out how much a banana costs. Price per kilo I know but the weight of a banana is tough.

When is he going to address the fluid ounce? 1 US fluid ounce ≈ 1.040843 imperial fluid ounces. Not to mention the difference number of fluid ounces in a US Gallon vs the Imperial Gallon.

If they are just over for dinner then could they be Gastronauts?

I have to say that I was a little creeped out by "Santas being digested" coming out on Christmas morning. And I have a very very dark sense of humour, which may be tempered by exposure to my newest teeny tiny cousins.

Similar problem here, I defiantly do not know if I need the word defiant or definite.

Easier to label the states in this one which only has 41 states.

Reminds me of the Super Villain Plan
https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/supervillain_plan.png

That reminds me of the time I heard of concrete ships and it took me some time to come to grips with that concept because concrete structures are normally immovable. The town I grew up in had a large breakwater made from WW II "Liberty Ships", they had concrete hulls. Being a breakwater t...

I think there was some proposed flying wing airliner design that would've done that ... , but it never took off . We all see what you did there. Regardless...
