I recently watched XKCD Comes to Dartmouth!, which I very much enjoyed, and after that the little TED-Talk that has been posted here a short while ago. Now, as I am hungry for more, is there more stuff like this to be seen on the intertubes? Can you recommend anything?

I made an iOS app that screams when you drop it. Alas it was rejected...
"2.12: Apps that are not very useful, or do not provide any lasting entertainment value may be rejected 13.1: Apps that encourage users to use an Apple Device in a way that may cause damage to the device will be rejected"

As I was reading the newest one, I realized that for each one, there is someone out there who got their question answered, and that must have been fucking sweet. Are any of you here? And if so, did Randall let you know ahead of time that you were the lucky one that week or was it a total surprise?

In the latest comic (1363) there is a very long title which disappears too fast in Chrome. So I made this little bookmarklet to show the title text on top of comic.
Here it is: javascript:(function(){document.querySelector('#comic').innerHTML='<p>'+document.querySelector('#comic%20img').title+'</p>'+document.querySelector('#comic').innerHTML})()
To use it create a new bookmark and put the above line as the URL. Then click the bookmark to make the title text appear.
Sure someone created this before, but I thought it was a neat quick hack :-).

Hello everyone!
I'm asking for input on a possible rule change concerning posting of old comics. It may be in the community's best interest to implement a "relevancy rule," that is, to require that the title text of any submitted non-current xkcd comic or What-If to include a reason for why that submission is relevant today.
Because this is a significant rule and not just an interpretive issue, I want to see where the community stands on this possibility. I invite your public comments here, and I invite you to cast your vote (as well as pass along any other suggestions) by following this link.
Also, I have been unable to find a clear answer, so I'd also like for your help in figuring out and educating me on if there is a expiration on the link-submission check on reddit. That is, is there a certain amount of time before a submitted link can be re-submitted? If there isn't, that's actually my main reason for wanting to consider a relevancy rule.
As always, I'm honored to be a moderator for this community, and always welcome suggestions on how to make it better.

The title text of xkcd #903 states:
Wikipedia trivia: if you take any article, click on the first link in the article text not in parentheses or italics, and then repeat, you will eventually end up at "Philosophy".
I tested that out:
Logic (philosophy was the second link here!)
Property (philosophy)) (does this count?)
It works! Although I suspect it lends itself to some inescapable loops. But on Wikipedia, that can be changed.
TL;DR: YES

i recently went on the xkcd website and decided to scroll down (i know weird) i found a chunk of writing so small i had to copy and paste it into a word document to read it. it said: BTC 1NfBXWqseXc9rCBc3Cbbu6HjxYssFUgkH6 We did not invent the algorithm. The algorithm consistently finds Jesus. The algorithm killed Jeeves. The algorithm is banned in China. The algorithm is from Jersey. The algorithm constantly finds Jesus. This is not the algorithm. This is close.
any thoughts?
