Re: xkcd
This math comic is giving me flashbacks to when my sister was trying to help me get motivated in math when my grades were slipping in that class. She was a senior in high school at the time and sat there for like 30 minutes gushing over the really cool things you could do with Advanced Calculus. I stared at her like she was speaking in tongues.
I consider people who see the beauty in math to be the same breed as biologists who coo over the beauty of a 2-foot long venomous jumping spider that likes to build nests in your underwear. It's an important subject to study, but better you than me buddy.

So the alleged beauty of math is like basically the coolest thing ever? Originally Posted by Rodin

Verisimilitude -- n, the appearance or semblance of truth, likelihood, or probability.
The concern is not realism in speculative fiction, but rather the sense that a setting or story could be real, fostered by internal consistency and coherence.

Re: xkcd

Re: xkcd
I'd put my money on the world for champion, given that all other contenders are subsets of the world.

Re: xkcd
Do Batman and Superman each other before or after fighting the Teen Titans?
I am torn between being glad a non-european referenced Astérix and being sad it was Astérix contre César that got referenced.
I like that you don't think Batman beating Superman isn't even worth a mention. Originally Posted by Rockphed

Re: xkcd
To be fair, there are only two versus that would work for Astérix in that context : César, or a crossover fight against Tintin or Spirou. Originally Posted by Fyraltari

Re: xkcd
Ah. I had Superman beating Batman, then falling to Pilgrim, since Cera beat up Brandon Routh in the movie. Seemed logical. Originally Posted by Rockphed

Re: xkcd
I don't see Scott Pilgrim beating anyone except the world. And even the world is a tall order; he just beat a few people, really.

Re: xkcd
Hi guys! I just got around to reading the NY Times from Sunday, and saw that Randall Munoe was the feature interview for By The Book.
