It just reminds me of watching two people bickering at each other in comment threads, justifying themselves with that comic. Plus it I think it is overused.
ha, I guess that comic is pretty popular, and I was totally being not-original. XKCD provides a link specific for hotlinking to all their comics, and I just used that link that was officially provided.

The now-deleted parent comment wasn't complaining, he just said you didn't cite the source as xkcd.
