I just went to look.
it's rubbish.

No man, don't you GET it?
It's fucking hilarious.

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

needs more Megan

aww yeah, that would have made it the best
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

If you don't find it funny, why look?
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?

Okay, maths boy, why is the joke funny?
And the reason why I "go look" at XKCD is because it can be quite good sometimes.

It's funny, because I've actually been known to do that in an exam.
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...

hahahahahahahaha bumsex with your mum

Erm
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.

Not that it's not a bit shit,
mind you.

As I said, it raised a wry smile.
I didn't actually look too closely at the content...
(, Mon 28 Jun 2010, 10:47, archived)
yeah, that's the point
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.

because that's how people solve problems sometimes.
The guy who does it is a mathematician. Therefore there will be some maths comedy. deal with it.

I quite like xkcd
but it can be a bit hit and miss. and that one's very miss.
(, Mon 28 Jun 2010, 10:03, archived)
Whether it's hit or miss depends on whether the joke is relevant to you or not.
You can't generally say this one is a miss, it's only a miss to, in this case, you.
(, Mon 28 Jun 2010, 10:20, archived)
No.
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 :)

Seeing as I see students attempting that in exams all the time
I thought it was quite amusing. So there.
(, Mon 28 Jun 2010, 10:29, archived)
You should fail them for that.
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?)
(, Mon 28 Jun 2010, 10:32, archived)
no, I just sneak into exams and wank at the back.

(, Mon 28 Jun 2010, 10:34, archived)
ha! weird fetish.
Rule 34 probably applies, but I'm not going to look.
(, Mon 28 Jun 2010, 10:37, archived)
GAWD, you're ALWAYS banging on about your maths degree.
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 !??!?!

you don't have mates.
liar.
(, Mon 28 Jun 2010, 9:58, archived)
i'll make mates after telling them the wonderful joke

(, Mon 28 Jun 2010, 10:00, archived)
hope so.
it must be terribly lonely being you otherwise.
(, Mon 28 Jun 2010, 10:04, archived)
it's a good job every joke you make is so funny to absolutely everyone, eh?
otherwise you couldn't make this kind of criticism without looking like a bell-end
