I saw someone with a xkcd shirt in my math course once.

Remember the day the walrus started to fly...

I finally cleared my sig after 4 years you're happy now?

This signature is ridiculously large you've been warned.

My mom:
"WHERE'D IT GO!?!??!?!" when I minimized a window
"Don't delete it!" when I clicked Save
"I can't get on the Internet!" when IE is open
"How can I access this document?" when the link couldn't be clearer
"Will the server go down?" if IE is closed when she's on Facebook
"How do I turn off the computer?" when there is a large red power symbol button in the lower right corner
Quote from: A conversation
Me: *talking about my IRC projects*
Mom: What's IRC?
Me: It's an online chat system where you can talk to people all over the world.
Mom: Do you talk to strangers?
Really Mom?... Well, by now, Juju and friends aren't strangers anymore XP
Yeah, ofcourse it is true that you have to watch out with friend over the internet. But you can definitively  trust me. *blink blink* :P

For some reason my mom is convinced that Omni is a "chat-line" or something...maybe I should start calling her sewing websites that XD

Also I just realized, in the comic there's no reference to F1 (it might be windows-exclusive but still)
