It's fucking hilarious.
Man, I'm gonna tell that joke to my mates down the pub later.

it'd be all like "woah, and the square root of megan is my heart divided by pi"
i'd totally print off a copy

It got a wry smile from me, but then I did a maths degree... Maybe he should do more cartoons with self-obsessed narcissists, that you might find funny?

And the reason why I "go look" at XKCD is because it can be quite good sometimes.

I know the "answer", but I can't remember the whole proof, so I start proving what I can, and then try and fit them all together.
We laugh because it's funny, we laugh because it's true...

Isn't the point that the square root symbol suddenly turns into a long-division symbol? And that it still works out to the correct answer?
Just saying, like.

I didn't actually look too closely at the content...

that's the bit where the forwards and backwards proofs converge where, normally, the student has to try and make it look like it meets in the desperate hope that the person marking just looks at the answer and skims the proof and misses the cheat.

The guy who does it is a mathematician. Therefore there will be some maths comedy. deal with it.

but it can be a bit hit and miss. and that one's very miss.

You can't generally say this one is a miss, it's only a miss to, in this case, you.

I am right.
YOU ARE WRONG.
I did 'get' this one, I just didn't think it was very funny. But that's ok, xkcd's still on my favourites, generally it's pretty good :)

I thought it was quite amusing. So there.

Then do a belm at them and call them 'thicko'.
(I'm assuming you're a teacher/lecturer/invigilator type person, otherwise how would you 'see that all the time' YOU BLOODY CHEAT?)

Rule 34 probably applies, but I'm not going to look.

We get it, you know what _all_ the buttons on the calculater does, even the differance between MC and C, and even how to spell out 'boobies' on it. GAWD, we get it already, can you stop banging on about it for once !??!?!
