He IS the most intresting man in the world.

I like the campaign, and there are a lot of different commercials on YouTube…

…so WHY do they only play one commercial on every show on TV? I mean, if they have dozens of different ones, why can’t I see those?

I think I understand that comic now. Missing context has been filled in.

When I was a kid, we got near those things boating/fishing on a couple of occasions.

They scared the crap outa me !

The fact the water on the lips was inches deep and you would probably have to purposely crawl over it to fall in and get sucked to your doom did little to console me

He killed a man once…with his bare hands…then brought him back to life with just a concentrated stare…

He won a Pulitzer for his shopping list.

He joined the Mile High Club while under water.

When a tree falls in the forest and no one can hear it…he can.

Amnesty International considers it torture when he tells a joke, but does not deliver the punch line.

:smiley:

His Social Security Number is 1.

He has crossed the Atlantic nonstop…by skateboard.

The atomic clock depends on him for the correct time.

He knows pi to 30, 000 decimal places. Not from memory; he just knows.

He once kicked Chuck Norris’ ass…with Wilford Brimley’s foot!

Tickle his own feet?

Hey, there’s one… he can tickle himself!

Honest, I did NOT see the pi or Norris references upthread. Hivemind or eerie coincidence? You decide…

Strangely, my wife can tickle herself.

And does not drink beer.

He intentionally a beer bottle.

I know Chuck Norris to 30,000 decimal places :slight_smile:

He once won National Geographic’s photo of the year contest…with a sketch made with crayons.

Yeah, this thread turned that comic from bizarre and unfunny to amusing. I should have realized that there are some background.

There always is. If you think a XKCD comic is unfunny, do some research or ask here. It might still be unfunny, but at least you’ll have learned something.

He once actually won a debate on SDMB, by not participating.

He won two Noble prizes in the same year, one as himself, and the other as a transvestite.

He once won a James Beard Award and employee of the month at McDonalds on the same day.

He thought that climbing Mt. Everest without oxygen and a coat was a “pussy sport”.
