    • dubloe7, on 03/21/2008, -6/+72So, the xkcd comic doesn't even have to be new to make it to the front page now?
      • TheWorm, on 03/21/2008, -5/+18So your reply to the first comment doesn't even have to relate to what they said? Reminds me of the old Digg.
        • rrbest, on 03/21/2008, -0/+19Anyone ever been to Norway?
        • juicebag, on 03/21/2008, -6/+2Replying to the first comment=more people see your comment.

      • xkorbin, on 03/21/2008, -2/+10Generic response to "I See what you did there" not applying on digg.
      • KingMoses, on 03/21/2008, -0/+8Although I cannot tell with certainty whether or not you meant that ironically, I will maintain consistency on my policy of blocking anyone who posts that sentence.
        • elnerdo, on 03/21/2008, -2/+1I see what you did there.

          (And I will begin my policy of replying to KingMoses with "I see what you did there")
    • fartbuttes, on 03/21/2008, -7/+30yeah but honestly this is dumb. this isn't even a new comic. people need to just bookmark the damn website. christ.
      • daRoach, on 03/21/2008, -0/+38You forgot to explain that you were repeating a generic complaint.
      • Timbertron3000, on 03/21/2008, -0/+3And a general religious exclamation.
    • themastersb, on 03/21/2008, -7/+3I know a guy who did something similar, but then he'd take it a step further and Google everything.
    • kcap122, on 03/21/2008, -3/+5is it really this easy to make the front page of digg?
    • Latentsage, on 03/21/2008, -1/+1tired metajoke about people who post xkcd to digg.
  • mcla0181, on 03/21/2008, -2/+131Seems I missed out on the favorite sex position app....
    • bxblox, on 03/21/2008, -0/+18Im sorry to say.... I believe there is one.
    • asdfrewq, on 03/21/2008, -0/+14And it seems I've been missing out on the retrograde wheelbarrow position.
      • tektalk, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1What is the retrograde wheelbarrow anyways? I'm too afraid to google nsfw content right now.
        • Dobby156, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1dont worry its crap
        • triskele, on 03/21/2008, -0/+4From Urban Dictionary
          1. retrograde wheelbarrow
          A sexual position in which the male (or pitcher) stands behind the female (catcher) and holds her legs up while she holds herself up with her arms in a wheelbarrow-like position, face down. It is in this position that the two engage in thrustings and moanings of sorts.
        • jimmy17, on 03/21/2008, -0/+2Yeah, tell me about it, i much prefer the reverse duck flinger.
  • AEdgett77, on 03/21/2008, -7/+30this was on digg a couple weeks ago
    • cr4wl3r, on 03/21/2008, -3/+3this has been on digg multiple times.
    • cambob76, on 03/21/2008, -5/+7Why bother mentioning it? If I know it was on before, I'll ignore it or digg it down. Since I haven't seen it before, it is still interesting to me so your comment is pointless.
    • Kazanoe, on 03/21/2008, -0/+3Cambob, this is a serious problem, in this case. See, I thought there was a NEW comic off time and everything! I was very pleasantly surprised. Look how it's been ruined, I still have to wait... 20 minutes for the next one to come out.
    • Ataxia2008, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1An XKCD comic on Digg? Don't ***** lie. LIAR!!!
  • th3heretic, on 03/21/2008, -13/+7394 diggs? 4 comments? Front page? This is a _Really_ old comic too. Still good though.
    • ThEDeMoNKiNg, on 03/21/2008, -12/+2It's less than a year old, actually. You can't say _Really_ old unless you, to, are less than a year old.
    • iofthestorm, on 03/21/2008, -6/+5Nah, this is really old in internet terms. Anyone who follows XKCD should have seen this ages ago. Only new stuff should be posted here; then again, this is digg...
      • souljaboytellem, on 03/21/2008, -1/+4Did you hear? The Redcoats surrendered!!!!
    • ursername180, on 03/21/2008, -0/+3You're contributing to the comments too, jackass! >:(
  • Flappy3, on 03/21/2008, -1/+107Retrograde wheelbarrow?
    • Berkana, on 03/21/2008, -7/+14Sounds like a position an engineer invented. . .

      wait, I take that back. Engineers don't have enough sex to do that.
      • Berkana, on 03/21/2008, -0/+9Case in point: http://www.dvorak.org/blog/?p=845
      • MuletTheGreat, on 03/21/2008, -2/+5*****, engineers get ***** of sex, because they have ***** of money.
        • Berkana, on 03/21/2008, -1/+4If by "sex" you mean porn, maybe.
        • GreyICE, on 03/21/2008, -0/+2As an engineer, looking around my office, yeah... you're totally right. I can't think of a reason you're wrong (posting from work) (hey, they MIGHT read this).
    • soccernamlak, on 03/21/2008, -0/+127From Urban Dictionary;
      A sexual position in which the male (or pitcher) stands behind the female (catcher) and holds her legs up while she holds herself up with her arms in a wheelbarrow-like position, face down. It is in this position that the two engage in thrustings and moanings of sorts.
      • Akaji, on 03/21/2008, -1/+59Dugg for "thrustings and moanings of sorts."
      • ladyarcher85, on 03/21/2008, -1/+4Somehow I am tempted to look for pics...
      • mrsteveman1, on 03/21/2008, -3/+10What i find funny is that "pitcher" and "catcher" weren't obvious enough to the reader, they had to be specified by sex.
        • D3koy, on 03/21/2008, -0/+10They don't have to be male and female, I think that's the point
        • VegaObscura3, on 03/21/2008, -1/+2If you wanna do the retrogade wheelbarrow position they do.
        • moush, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1They meant you don't have to be a female to be the catcher.
        • VegaObscura3, on 03/22/2008, -0/+1Yes I know, but unless the pitcher's penis is shaped like an S, it just isn't going to work.
      • GramarNatzi, on 03/21/2008, -3/+7I prefer this one :

        Its when you are part of a donkey show where you have a donkey and a man(or woman)in a harness, and the donkey is giving it to the man(or woman) while suspended from the donkey. Meanwhile there's a midget with a riding crop wearing nothing more than a black leather hat. He's whipping the donkey to get it to move while the donkey is also eating out of a bag of oats laced with PCP. Now you take a Wii remote with the nunchuck attachment and you insert either end into the donkey's rectum, you then put the other end into the midget's rectum. There's a wheelbarrow behind the donkey. In the wheelbarrow is a tub of pudding with a german female midget can can dancing in the pudding, while "God Save the Queen" is playing on a radio.
        • wtfunkymonkey, on 03/21/2008, -0/+5That's an amazing act, what do they call themselves?
        • skizz, on 03/21/2008, -1/+5The aristocrats!
      • daftbrain, on 03/21/2008, -1/+2How is that different to the regular wheelbarrow though?
    • kylere, on 03/21/2008, -0/+4http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ret ...
    • Aleandros, on 03/21/2008, -0/+3I didn't know what the hell was that, so I googled it. makes sense once you see it.
      • Namaha, on 03/21/2008, -0/+8I google image searched it, in the top 5 results I found pics of Dumbo the elephant. Wtf.
    • evildeadxsp, on 03/21/2008, -12/+4try it out sometime, it looks fun -
      http://tinyurl.com/2su3q3
    • Trollmaster, on 03/21/2008, -5/+2remember that the comic's author is a loser who's probably never had sex in his life so that is what he could come up with
  • adrianmonk, on 03/21/2008, -2/+11Pretty funny, but fairly old as well. It's #300 in the xkcd series, which is up to #398 right now.
    • 4d669, on 03/21/2008, -1/+1Necrophilia? on my Digg?
      It's more likely than you think.
  • diggdiggerid, on 03/21/2008, -2/+214....Now not only is it every new comic, it's OLD ones too.
    • BestJaxx, on 03/21/2008, -1/+5...and now we get GIF files too. I actually kind of like these new trends.
    • KingGorilla, on 03/21/2008, -0/+6they won't stop till each one gets on the frontpage!
  • Errdoth, on 03/21/2008, -4/+33Now we even have the old ones on the frontpage...jesus...
  • badenglishihave, on 03/21/2008, -4/+39OK, be honest: how many of you googled "retrograde wheelbarrow" after reading that comic?
    • jcpendexter, on 03/21/2008, -3/+15Nope. But I'm gonna now!
    • ledguitar, on 03/21/2008, -1/+8Guilty
    • einstein2k8, on 03/21/2008, -2/+6According to Google Trends, nobody has Googled it except for a whole bunch of Americans in July 2007. Don't wanna know why.
      • HiKevinRose, on 03/21/2008, -1/+24That's probably when this comic first came out.
    • Samsong, on 03/21/2008, -1/+4Stolen form Urban Dictionary -
      A sexual position in which the male (or pitcher) stands behind the female (catcher) and holds her legs up while she holds herself up with her arms in a wheelbarrow-like position, face down. It is in this position that the two engage in thrustings and moanings of sorts.
      • dagamer34, on 03/21/2008, -1/+8If you didn't have the imagination to know what the wheelbarrow position looks like, you weren't having sex anyway.
      • Mish48, on 03/21/2008, -0/+3Isn't that just the wheelbarrow? I was wondering where the retrograde came into it
    • BestJaxx, on 03/21/2008, -1/+2Didn't have to, already knew what it was.
    • directedition, on 03/21/2008, -0/+3http://www.google.com/trends?q=retrograde+wheelbar ...
      I guess #300 was around mid 2007.
  • ISmokesDaPot420, on 03/21/2008, -8/+2In before not clever comment about XKCD being on digg.
    • Kazanoe, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1In before innate pointless comment ab-
      Oh, wait. Damn.
  • CaliforniaEagle, on 03/21/2008, -9/+2LOL how did talking about bands turn into having sex?
    • ThEDeMoNKiNg, on 03/21/2008, -2/+10Congratulations, that's the joke. You found it! Yay!
      • dante2010xxx, on 03/21/2008, -5/+0You a winna! HAHAH
        You a winna! HAHAH
        You a winna! HAHAH
    • ISmokesDaPot420, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1Probably has something to do with the extensively dugg "depressed women have more sex" story.
  • bobdole2008, on 03/21/2008, -0/+144So instead of digging new xkcd comics, we're going to start digging old xkcd comics. Right-o. Carry on.
    • MuletTheGreat, on 03/21/2008, -1/+1We are diggers, we show defiance at the first opportunity. This is an opportunity to defy the norm, the way things are traditionaly done, like submitting and digging new *****. Only 1% of you will get to this dot: . Before you have already buried this comment.
    • chrisaug18, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1Good, now your clear on that right?
  • jtrost, on 03/21/2008, -3/+9In all honesty I don't think it's creepy to research someone before you meet them, especially if they make their information publicly available.
    • Scaryclouds, on 03/21/2008, -0/+9So it would be less creepy if you found out private information about them?
      You: "Hey I got you some Prozac because I hear you are suffering from depression"
      Her: "What?!"
      You: "Yea and the fact that you can't have kids is totally fine with me, I don't want any anyways"
      Her: "...but I just found that out yesterday..."
      You: "So anyways since you boyfriend just dumped you last night, by e-mail, I was wondering if you wanted to do anything this weekend?"
      Her: "..."
    • poxonyou, on 03/21/2008, -0/+2I was thinking the same thing. It's lame if you pretend you're into whatever they list on their page, but if you have something in common, you actually have a reason to talk rather than just msg'ing someone because you think they're hottt like most Myspace creeps. That's the whole point of sharing your interests in the first place. It's not like, "OMG!!! How'd you know I liked Enya???!!!?" "It was on your page. I like her too. Saw her last week." "You mean you looked at my interests??! Get away from me you stalker!!!!!!"
    • purzzzell, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1the point wasn't finding out "a little bit about someone" before you meet them, it was exactly what poxonyou implied - saying you're into the same things they are (when it's not true) to try to get in their pants.
    • leopardflames, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1before the social websites, isn't that what people did by word of mouth? hell, even employers do it with employees. from myspace/facebook/livejournal even down to googling. funny googling things and finding chats that are five years old...
  • nseb, on 03/21/2008, -2/+34ZOMG AN XKCD COMIC !!!
  • NerveBand, on 03/21/2008, -7/+4Can someone explain the alt-tag that they have? It doesn't make sense to me.
    • MiserJ, on 03/21/2008, -1/+5He has the number cause it was in the facebook profile.
    • gurellia53, on 03/21/2008, -0/+7are you serious?

      he got the # from facebook...
    • Aleandros, on 03/21/2008, -0/+10the girl says that she will put her number in his cellphone, but it's already there because he got it from her facebook. It's not funny if I explain it.
    • MuletTheGreat, on 03/21/2008, -1/+3Or is it the guy putting his number in her phone, but she has researched HIM!!! OMG!!
  • FattJesus, on 03/21/2008, -0/+10I read that as "using Fedex" for some reason.
  • ub3rgeek, on 03/21/2008, -1/+13Really? Now we are posting old xkcds to digg along with *every* new one?
    • MuletTheGreat, on 03/21/2008, -1/+2Yes. Do you have a problem with that?

      I am a troll, I get very well fed on digg. :}
  • qber, on 03/21/2008, -1/+14What the... it's bad enough that every new xkcd comic hits Digg, do we have to go through the old ones too?
  • longcat99, on 03/21/2008, -3/+16Wow, I was almost worried there wouldn't be an XKCD comic featured today. Whew!
  • jcpendexter, on 03/21/2008, -7/+2::Guy and Girl sitting reading this comic::
    What? You haven't done that one?! CLASSIC!!!
    We totally should try it.
  • ApocalyptiChaos, on 03/21/2008, -6/+14Old comic is ooooollllllddddddd
    • MuletTheGreat, on 03/21/2008, -2/+1Behold, captain obvious in all his magnificent splendour!
  • karel747, on 03/21/2008, -1/+19Did you just now discover XKCD?
  • SneezingTree, on 03/21/2008, -4/+4I have an idea! Let's all OVER USE SOMETHING! (and maybe if I use large, capital letters, as seen to the left, someone will finally listen to me!)
    • MuletTheGreat, on 03/21/2008, -2/+1STFU. Say something creative and new.
    • FecalHurler, on 03/21/2008, -1/+1What? Did you say something?
  • turdblossom1, on 03/21/2008, -1/+3Retrograde Wheelbarrow sounds like a good time
  • ticookie, on 03/21/2008, -2/+8Old.
  • AsSubtleAsABrik, on 03/21/2008, -1/+6You know, I understand duplicates and never bitch about them, but do you honestly think there is any xkcd comic that hasn't already hit the front page?
    • inspecality, on 03/21/2008, -0/+4Yeah you're right.

      *submits more XKCD comics
  • longcat99, on 03/21/2008, -6/+1I was almost worried there wouldn't be an xkcd comic being featured today. Whew!
    • longcat99, on 03/21/2008, -0/+3oops, digg me down. o_o double post! no!!
  • shortyjacobs, on 03/21/2008, -2/+25Oo, new strategy.
    *begins resubmitting every single Zero Punctuation to Digg*
  • jdubsta235, on 03/21/2008, -5/+1GUILTY AS CHARGED.
  • FeargusMcDuff, on 03/21/2008, -1/+2Old.
  • tcpip4lyfe, on 03/21/2008, -1/+6Polyphonic spree kicks some ass.
  • digjam, on 03/21/2008, -1/+4I wonder why most of the stories on front page or in TOP 10 lately are from either of these websites xkcd,arstechnica,onion,engadget,5min.com,break.com,dailykos,breitbart.tv ???
    • purzzzell, on 03/21/2008, -0/+2dude, you missed the number one offender - cracked.com

      also, huffingtonpost
  • ledguitar, on 03/21/2008, -2/+4This doesn't work as well as the comic says it does. =(
  • schavira, on 03/21/2008, -1/+9You should like the Polyphonic Spree regardless of whether or not a girl does though.
  • Zilk, on 03/21/2008, -3/+2Does it work for girls with girls too?
  • insinuate, on 03/21/2008, -0/+2Oooooooooooooold
  • sevenslashfour, on 03/21/2008, -3/+4The occasional random old xkcd comig appearing on the front page is much more bearable than the pathetically predictable submission of brand new strips making it to the top 10 within short hours of being posted.

    So, I'm digging this out of principle. Well, that and because it's a pretty good one.
  • LiquidCure, on 03/21/2008, -1/+1*****
  • sonicularulus, on 03/21/2008, -0/+2time to put it to the test, brb...
  • Computer_Kid, on 03/21/2008, -3/+3I'd have sex with that tree! :-D
  • moolaismyfriend, on 03/21/2008, -4/+1I usually do a search for whatever band I am touring with and then find the cutest chick send them a message, and when they don't believe me I have them meet me back stage at the show when I am in their city.

    It works like a charm...
  • zorabthegreek, on 03/21/2008, -3/+2Im bored with this comic
  • Slimem88, on 03/21/2008, -0/+10Ok, I've seen enough comments about a Digg pics section (which we got), so I think we should start bitching about a Digg XKCD section. Seriously. We can fap all day long to it.

    /loves XKCD but hates Digg for front-paging it every other day. What happened to Ron Paul? ... oh ...
  • redsoxmb545, on 03/21/2008, -0/+2xkcd gold
  • Xraven92, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1funny cause it's true
  • orangetiki, on 03/21/2008, -1/+1what's the difference between doing that on some stupid site like facebook, and what people have been doing for centuries face to face?
  • iamondigghaha, on 03/21/2008, -0/+5so everyone complains, but these still all end up on the front page.
    • flintmecha, on 03/21/2008, -0/+2Not enough people are complaining.
  • MC0Wraith0TS, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1Now their thinking in portals
  • harryterry, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1the funny thing about it, is that it's true
