I get about 2/3rds. For the rest, I have to call my programmer brother or physics student cousin. I think only Randall Munroe (the creator) and possibly Mohawk guy at NASA get all of them.

I have a masters in bio so I have a science background and currently do tech support, but mostly, I grew up with a computer geek and a physics nerd and am now married to a video game dork, so I am surrounded by it.

I tried to understand them... yeah not happening. There were two (I think) that made me chuckle.

Did you see the one about graphing fruit? I thought that one was funny... and I understood it too.

Either my son explains them to me, or I google the terms!
There is a forum that explains a few of the harder ones. Some of the gags are about games, or "in " jokes about cons, so I don't Feel SO bad for not getting them.

Yeah that one I don't get. The mouseover text gives me a hint as to what it's probably about though. That's about as far as I can get. LOL

Reptangle In reply to Lyrak [2013-01-22 06:48:19 +0000 UTC]
I don't get the mouse-over hint, but it is a rotational matrix - when you multiply something by it, it rotates the vector. so the answer is rotated.

There is one that is just a calculus formula... I don't know how to find it. My son tried to explain it to me , he said it was dumb.

Exactly. I've had diners with vet students and emergency room nurses at the table. Good weight loss method.

XKCD in a web comic. [link]
Sometimes the jokes are ones only a PHD in particle physics would get.
