See his column todaywhich referenced this old SDMB thread.
Shame we didn’t have an answer for him.
This is so cool!
He’s done this at least once before. There was an off-board discussion on the possibility that Munroe is a Doper. I’m sure this will add fuel to fire.
He could be of course but I don’t think the fact that’s he’s now referenced the boards a couple of time means much. Since the SDMB has become searchable it’s not that uncommon for it to be at the top of Google search results for a number of obscure questions.

Yes, but they were doing very un-biblical things to each other.
I stayed and watched, but that’s not to suggest I was approving.

I’m doing a paper.
{Gasp!} Sacrilege!
