xkcd

I found a webcomic today called xkcd. (No, it doesn't stand for anything. The letters, I mean. Maybe the comic stands for something. I dunno.) The comic is about random humor, math, and general nerdity.

Warning: this comic occasionally contains strong language (which may be unsuitable for children), unusual humor (which may be unsuitable for adults), and advanced mathematics (which may be unsuitable for liberal-arts majors).

A sample of a few of my favorites:

The Geek Code desperately needs updating, but in any case here's mine (as of 2010-02-28):

If you really care about knowing what that all means, you either know the code already, or you can get it decoded for you here.
