The Hudson Bay drainage drops down into Western Montana

I’d incorporate a live kitten, to increase the randomness factor.
Or a kitten that isn’t alive or dead until it interacts with marble …
I’ve heard of D&D groups who play with miniatures on a grid-mat, using a cat as the “miniature” for the Tarrasque. “OK, it looks like the Tarrasque just hit Borgon with two claw attacks, and Tyrest and Johor with a tail sweep.”
“Hey, the Monster Manual says nothing about a pounce attack. Tarrasques can’t pounce!”
What does it say about their lying down on the other characters and taking a nap?
The tarrasque had many unusual abilities gifted to it by its creators. Among the most terrifying of these was its ability to ignore any natural resistances its victims had, cutting right through them with its deadly attacks. It also had the ability to dramatically hinder the ability of creatures within 200 feet (61 meters) of it to fly, reducing their speed substantially while also bringing them down to a maximum altitude of twenty feet, which put them within the beast’s reach.[9]
The tarrasque was an eating machine while awake, capable of swallowing creatures of roughly giant size whole. When roused, it would, by its design, eat quite literally the entire world, including plants and animals.[9] Fortunately, it would only be active for a week or two before it returned to its slumber to sleep for five to twenty months, although, once every decade or so, the tarrasque would stay active for several months, after which it would sleep four to sixteen years, unless disturbed.[8] Why it returned to slumber is unknown, though it seemed inevitable that at some point it would try and fulfill its purpose to destroy the world entirely.[citation needed]
Sounds like a kitten to me!
I once spent a whole day trying to confirm the existence of a director’s cut of Cats (2019) where the cats had anatomically correct CGI butts.
Pervert!
So, don’t leave us hanging, Randall… Does it exist?
Of course it does. I keep it on my shelf along with the alternate ending to Big, my Berenstein Bears books, and my 1987 memorial to Nelson Mandela.
Iceberg lettuce is called that because 95% isn’t even lettuce.
OK, so has anyone identified the piece?
Explain XKCD says:
The sheet music pictured is the opening line of “Simple Gifts”; an ordinary copy of the sheet music can be found on Wikipedia.

Y’know, I only just realized the disturbing implication of Wednesday’s strip. Apparently, among Randall’s circle of friends, he’s the one who organizes all of the social events? Good lord, what must the rest of them be like?
