** The day after [http://xkcd.com/541/ this strip] ran, claiming that Randall has been banned from a number of conferences for making stupid presentations, including PyCon, the PyCon blog jokingly [http://pycon.blogspot.com/2009/02/randall-munroe.html confirmed that he was indeed banned].
* [[Reciprocal Fiction Paradox]]: A really subtle one with [[Questionable Content]] and [[Xkcd (Webcomic)|Xkcdxkcd]]. Marigold wears an xkcd shirt [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1625 here], and [http://xkcd.com/574/ this] xkcd comic shows one of Hannelore's Twitter posts.
