Website Review #1: xkcd.com

Hello again!

So my dad suggested this website, xkcd.com, that he had learned of from a coworker. Its basically a lot of comics and drawings that are effing hilarious! Not to mention they're all stick figures, which multiplies comedic value by at least like 20.

It's what I'd call "smart humor". You know the jokes found funny by the frat house of 20-something year old football players (read: drunk college guys), well, this is the exact opposite. The site header reads, "A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and science." That's a pretty accurate description of it, I think.

The bottom line is, I've been going through these comics by clicking the "random" button for the past 3 and a half hours, and I'll probably be going through more of them for countless more hours :) I give it four and a half stars out of five, only because the occasional science- or math-themed comic goes over my head.

One last quick note, when looking at the comics, if you hold the cursor over the comic than you'll get an additional punch line (doesn't work in Mozilla Firefox).

Until we meet again, have fun looking at xkcd.com's comics! Adios!
