Wow, never expected this... also i lul'd

Edit: I hate caps lock

by **jakemaheu** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 4:02 am UTC

Goddammit. I keep making the topic first, but forgetting to write in the title.

Oh well.

I'm pretty sure this is NSFW.

Megan is such the showgirl...

Also, I was wondering something along the same lines just yesterday.. all those pictures related to flexor tendon shealth cysts....

edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganglion_cyst

The description image could totally have been shot inside a Sizzlers.

Hi joee. Wanna go to TGIF's? I'll bring the camera

by **WontonSoup** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 4:03 am UTC

Wow, wtf. Never expected XKCD to get THIS graphic...

by **brakos82** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 4:03 am UTC

Megan... I never knew that about you... :shock:

lol

What? Drawings that aren't just sticks on xkcd? An xkcd strip that is NSFW? What is the world coming to? I'm surprised because xkcd is where I want to go when I don't want to see anatomically correct images.

by **jakemaheu** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 4:05 am UTC

Pics or it didn't happen.

Once upon a time, I very nearly asked Jeph Jacques why he censors actual nudity in his comic but still puts doodles of penises on the coffee shop blackboard. Given that the one is no less just a drawing than the other. This strip almost seems like the sort of thing someone would produce after having just reached that same conclusion. And wanted to hang a lampshade on it.

So you actually looked? You fucking pervert. :lol:

>90% of the time, I check xkcd at work. I'm either really lucky or really good.

by **steewi** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 4:09 am UTC

I checked this at work. And my supervisor walked past just after I scrolled past it. Phew! Close call...

by **glasnt** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 4:09 am UTC

I'm a sad sad person for thinking this.. but I thought the first 'Hey' speech bubble belonged to Dwayne Johnson... -_-

Randall, on the way out of my head, could you let the aliens out too? They've been bothering me a bit lately.

by **joee** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 4:40 am UTC

glasnt: yes. let's go to TGIFs! Do you have a tripod or should I bring one?

also, yeah, very NSFW

by **videogamesizzle** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 4:42 am UTC

In other news, stick figures have vaginas. Huh.

I still don't exactly get what happened in that comic >.<

by **TinFoil** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 4:44 am UTC

FINALLY! An xkcd I can masturbate to. The Internet has came full circle at last!

I think the posting of this comic caused the server to overload as well.

by **Kimmeh** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 4:47 am UTC

Two thoughts came to mind:
One, as they are stick figures, that is a major close up.
Two, Only Megan is mentioned. Where/Who is the...model for the male anatomy?

I actually looked(after reading the comic), and xkcd is extremely correct... I also learned more than I need to know about a lot of things(yes, I read the text and looked at the pictures.. I mean cmon, it is still wikipedia.. I even went 3 links deep until I started feeling weird..)

Black Hat guy?

by **Max2009** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 4:59 am UTC

Wow. I never knew there was so much anatomy on stick figures. Sure it's been implied before, but actually to see it?!
Does this satisfy Rule 34 on xkcd?

by **PhantomPhanatic** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 5:01 am UTC

The hardest I've laughed at a comic in quite a while. Thumbs up!

by **Green9090** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 5:02 am UTC

Am I the only one who noticed that apparently in xkcd-land speech bubbles are visible and thus show up in photographs? O_o

I noticed that too. I thought maybe someone on Digg had linked to it or something. Then I remembered, this is XKCD. If anything, it could bring Digg down by linking to it.

you i was about to make a "you masturbated but the internet came" joke but urbandictionary corrected me

Came is the past tense of come, which means to move toward something (and various other things). It is not, however, the past tense of cum. The past tense of cum is cummed.[/color]

Did anyone else see, earlier tonight, the message on the top of the page which said something like, "The strip might be a little late while I double check the math. Sorry."? Is double checking math a new euphemism for double checking female privates? If so, I might have to use it as a pickup line.

by **Sir-Taco** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 5:16 am UTC

I was just at TGI Fridays, nothing of this sort happened though. >_> <_<

by **CramItSonny** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 5:18 am UTC

My friend was running a Wikipedia Breast Enhancement project for a while. The rules were simple:

* if the image was primarily of a female breast, replace it with a similar image containing a larger breast.
* if the image contained a breast, photoshop it to be larger.

The project failed...the wikipedians caught on to us and there was also a bit too much, er, distraction.

by **westrim** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 5:21 am UTC

I do believe we have here a return to form for Randall. I wonder how the haters will try to justify their feelings now.
"I got fired for looking at this at work today, I hope you're happy!"
"How DARE you distribute this filth!"
"You drew the labia minora/areola/something wrong, you hack!" (Labia is in spellcheck but not minora or areola? Huh.)
"Wheres the tripod, huh?"
... Okay, I'll stop now.

And who among those that have been under age 15 in the last 5 years hasn't visited Wikipedia for their jollies? It's this generations National Geographic!

Hah! I remember that. That was the only good part of going to the doctor's office when I was younger.

Now it all makes sense. :lol:

by **cannedmilkman** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 5:47 am UTC

This comic reminded me of a question I had forgotten about until recently.

Everybody accepts that all else being equal, taller fathers have taller daughters and fatter mothers have fatter sons, etc.

But what about genitalia? Does a father with a big penis have a daughter with a big vaginal cavity or is it "tighter" because there are bigger labia? Same question applies in reverse for mothers and their sons.

....yes, I registered to ask that question.

by **Nintendon't** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 5:52 am UTC

Yeah, I know. I remember people being disgusted on the forums when http://xkcd.com/400/ came out, too. And 136 does show the same thing, but as a tiny image, not this up-in-your-face.

I don't have a problem with it, I just sort of did a double-take and went "Did my link screw up?" when I saw what was on my screen.
It would also help if I understood the joke in this comic.
