XKCD: Click and Drag
« on: 19 Sep 2012, 08:54 »
... aka "The XKCD That Should've Been Named 'Repetitive Stress Injury'".

Comic: http://xkcd.com/1110/
[spoiler]Map (fuzzy, contains some spoilers): http://i.imgur.com/oVTiU.png
Zoomable version: http://xkcd-map.rent-a-geek.de/[/spoiler]

How Randall finds the time for this sort of thing, I have no idea.

Morwen's Law:
1) The number of capsuleer women who are bisexual is greater than the number who are lesbian.
2) Most of the former group appear lesbian due to a lack of suitable male partners to go around.
3) The lack of suitable male partners can be summed up in most cases thusly: interested, worth the air they breathe, available; pick two.

Holy...

I have to look at this again when I'm not trying to pretend to do work.

Kala, if you mean XKCD, its an online comic for geeks and such.  If you mean the image, I guess he got bored...

Mental masturbtion. It's ok for the few first minutes of dragging around, but after a while, the references and jokes get way under xkcd's usual standard. While I appreciate the work of making such a large vector image, and it shows promise in the start, in the end it ends up being very lartpourlartistic.

Ok, so I actually zoomed in and had a proper look. Consider me satisfied.

I started looking around last night, and as soon as I realized the scope, I stopped at once.

I need my hands in good condition.

I did the same thing - that's why I included a link to a zoomable version in the spoiler tags. You can use a scrollwheel to move in and out with it.

Yeah, this was one comic strip that deserved the 'EPIC' epithet. :)

Meh, I gotta kinda agree with Leo. I think it's a cool idea, but honestly had more impact with just the guy on the balloon.  :s

If you're using IE and/or have javascript disabled, it's very possible. ;P

Try the third link I put in the OP.
