I just have to say: this XKCD strip is so awesome on several (sub-atomic) levels.

Ah, yes, when the cheesy pick up line gets slammed, but the speaker gets some anyway!!!

I love those moments!

And all the quark jokes in the last panel cracked me up.

It took me a second look to get all of them. I got "top or bottom" and "straight down", but "charming stranger" eluded me on the first pass. ;)

That is truly, deeply awe-inspiringly funny.

You made me laugh while I was all emo and stuff. You rock.

XKCD is a surprisingly awesome comic, even if you don't know as much about computers as the creator clearly does. I highly recommend checking out random strips at http://www.xkcd.com when you need a chuckle.

That reminds me waaaay too much of a conversation from earlier this summer as we tried to classify one person's various SO's as quarks. Which lead to the now infamous line: "There is no switch quark!" (We want t-shirts.)

There was talk that it would probably filter its way back to XKCD. But I guess not. ;)

But I have charm, I'm strange, and I'm a bottom! I'm three quarks in one! :)

props to them for getting all the quark types in, tho.

reminds me a bit of this (http://giftchild.livejournal.com/102169.html).

YES! I only recently started getting into QC, and read the entire archive from start to finish. I love it.

was it any worse than the one in this post?

Oy! Yes. The one that made me groan out loud was the proposed title. ;)

ok, given the topic and greater number of characters in this strip, yes, i admit, it did get a bit worse, but it's still geekily funny.

I've been pretty sure for some time now that I'm actually an xkcd character. I guess we just see one another as more fleshed-out.
