The elements song reminds me of the last episode of Season 3 from the kids series "Reboot" ...

Love that comic.. tho that strip is way above my head (college was a looong time ago). But you're an artist!! There's just as many people that look at what you can do and scratch their heads.

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.

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.

YikYik In reply to Reptangle [2013-02-02 12:01:04 +0000 UTC]

*lol* Well, I stoped trying. If I have to google it to understand, it's not something I'll waste time on. Ok, if it was once or twice... but not since it's basically every strip. You have smart sons.

I love XKCD, have a bunch of them on my cubical walls(work in computers...) Some need some googling to figure out. I 'think' this one is tangent, thats why it is sideways? (Get it - sin, cos and tan?) I could be wrong though.

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.

I was a Music (clarinet)/Math/English major, ended up dropping the math major for a web dev minor, couldn't complete the music degree because I can't play piano.
But yeah, I still don't get all the XKCD jokes, even with a background in higher-end sciences, maths, and a computer scientist for a boyfriend.
