Listed Trivia:

• Life Imitates Art: It's happened a few times.
  • After the strip proposed a virus that forces YouTube users to listen to their comment read back to them by a computerized voice before they can post it, YouTube implemented an auto-reader feature into the site. It eventually was removed.
  • The day after this strip ran, claiming that Randall has been banned from a number of conferences for making stupid presentations, including PyCon, the PyCon blog jokingly confirmed that he was indeed banned.
• Reciprocal Fiction Paradox: A really subtle one with Questionable Content and xkcd. Marigold wears an xkcd shirt here, and this xkcd comic shows one of Hannelore's Twitter posts.
• The Wiki Rule:
  • explain xkcd Their tagline is "Explain xkcd: It's 'cause you're dumb."
  • XKCD Time Wiki is dedicated to strip #1190, the 3099-panel story that won the 2014 Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story.

Miscellaneous trivia and information

• 954: Chin-Up Bar takes place on a 70-meter long escalator, described as the "longest in the country" -- this appears to be a reference to the escalator at Wheaton Metro Station in the Washington, DC Metro system. At the time of publishing (September 2011), this was, in fact, the longest single-span escalator in the Western hemisphere.
