- stillboy, on 07/02/2008, -6/+275Alt text: At the time of this writing, Wikipedia has a wonderful article titled 'List of problems solved by Macgyver'.
awesome: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_problems_solv ... - blademanx, on 07/02/2008, -22/+198To be honest, I don't see why people are always so angry over xkcd on digg. Yes, we know that we can just go to the website on our own, and yes, we know that the submission isn't going to introduce any diggers to new or interesting info or sources. So if you don't like it, just bury the damn thing and spare us your cynicism.
- etjrowe, on 07/02/2008, -8/+79Didn't any of you ever watch Macgyver? He hated guns.
- scottsutherland, on 07/02/2008, -2/+40The problem is it's not just the best ones that become popular on digg, it's every ***** one of them. By submitting every single comic, the mediocre ones get mixed in with the genius ones, and XKCD loses its flair.
- Grjemo, on 07/02/2008, -10/+47Guys, before we go any farther, lets not talk about xkcd itself. Talk about the COMIC. If you have to bitch about xkcd, do it here in this thread.
- aadsfasdf, on 07/02/2008, -0/+34Holy ***** I thought it was just an exaggeration.
"MacGyver starts out in Berlin, trying to escape with a microfilm containing government secrets. He takes the place of a dead person and is carried in a coffin towards a bridge, where he is dumped into the water by friends. Upon hitting the water, Mac hits a button and turns his coffin into a jet ski, riding away to safety." - spankaccount, on 07/02/2008, -4/+36Macgyver becomes a realist.
- Halsfield, on 07/02/2008, -10/+41digg up the stupid people, clever...almost ...too clever.
no i was wrong, still really stupid. - Ljay90, on 07/02/2008, -5/+36Macgyver ain't the only one getting lazy...
- sgtbutterscotch, on 07/02/2008, -2/+30...time zones...
oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
*thud* - benologist, on 07/02/2008, -1/+29There's only so much you can say about a very short comic....
"lol"
Can we get back to bitching about xkcd outside this thread now? - Halsfield, on 07/02/2008, -4/+29thats because your brain has a built-in idiot filter.
- casenumber17421, on 07/02/2008, -3/+27hence the joke of the comic?
- Halsfield, on 07/02/2008, -4/+26Wouldn't it be smarter to list the problems macguyver CANT solve? (if there are any?)
- leighlee, on 07/02/2008, -2/+20My life is better after seeing that Wikipedia article.
Now I know to plug a sulfuric acid leak with chocolate. Hell yeah! - estvir, on 07/02/2008, -1/+18From the PILOT episode, no less:
"MacGyver defuses a highly advanced nuclear warhead using a paper clip to short circuit the timing device."
I really need to buy the MacGyver boxset. - t2t2, on 07/02/2008, -3/+20http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_ ...
Seriously now... - kickcows, on 07/02/2008, -3/+18Where's the paperclip? Geez.
- Jesse, on 07/02/2008, -4/+16And not just that, but if you say anything negative at all, you get dugg down. Observe: Personally, I do not like XKCD.
Behold the mob believe that I have to enjoy what they enjoy! - str1fe, on 07/02/2008, -1/+12Or just 3 times a week.
- RaulMuadDib, on 07/02/2008, -0/+10Just like Monte Cristo!
- dsmx, on 07/02/2008, -0/+10He built it with a gun with no bullets and some bullets.

In a rare unsuccessful MacGyverism, MacGyver fails to blow open a hatch with a bilge pump, a hose, and a dock buoy. MacGyver is stuck in the bilge of a ship that is taking on water. He has the idea that he can blow open the locked hatch by overfilling a buoy with water until it explodes. He pokes a hole in the buoy, inserts a tube, connects the end to the bilge pump, and fastens the buoy to the hatch with an angle brace. Unfortunately the buoy tears instead of exploding, causing the water to spill out and defeating the MacGyverism. MacGyver escapes from the predicament by finding a nearby tank of compressed gas and knocking open the valve, sending it shooting up through the hatch, blasting it open. - RoflCoptah, on 07/02/2008, -2/+11hmm if it were snake, it'd be like, bam CQC
- Robthefrog, on 07/02/2008, -2/+11Seriously. These comics are as dry as you can get.
- Rozza, on 07/02/2008, -2/+10MacGyver uses a pulley system fashioned from torn fabric, bailing wire, and toy car wheels to assist a small dog in crossing a busy road
- Ryan166, on 07/02/2008, -4/+11Its funny because he could have just shot the guard in the head.
- inactive, on 07/02/2008, -2/+9I've rarely dig XKCD because it usually barely pulls a chuckle out of me. There are some genius hilarious ones out there of course that deserve a good popular spot here, but it seems diggers are such fanboys to this comic that they'll dig the mediocre, and I dare say bad ones too. The popularization of this comic just shows that some diggers don't even dig it based on how good that particular comic is that day, but on how popular the comic is on the whole, which is where systems like Digg actually fail, since it allows something that really doesn't deserve to be dug to be. It sort of reminds me of Democracy on a whole these days...
I'll probably be dug down. But oh well. You can't handle the truth! - hotpuck6, on 07/02/2008, -0/+7"When the gelatin dissolves in the water, the sodium reacts violently with the water and causes an explosion which blows a hole in the wall. ("MythBusters" busted the size of the explosion but verified that pure sodium does cause an exothermic reaction when mixed with water, just not enough to destroy a concrete wall. This was possibly not an error, but rather a way to stop the show's more industrious viewers from producing a dangerous explosive.)"
Lol, they question the integrity of MythBusters to try and uphold the integrity of Macgyver, ignoring the fact that their show is totally fact based, and Macgyver is "make up a bunch of ***** that seems cool" based. - Wenchmark51, on 07/02/2008, -6/+13I really like the mouse hover commentary on every comic, it adds a little to each one.
- MojoJonJon, on 07/02/2008, -0/+7MacGruber's way cooler
- Halsfield, on 07/02/2008, -1/+8too cool to post a reply under the guy who posted it first? =P
- hotpuck6, on 07/02/2008, -1/+8i pooped.
- Monkeydew06, on 07/02/2008, -0/+7http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTWEh2mcdsg
Video! (not a rickroll). - JeddHampton, on 07/02/2008, -0/+7and MythBusters proved it possible!
- fxu1989, on 07/02/2008, -1/+7Don't mind if I do.
Like I will get buried, as well. - Myonosken, on 07/02/2008, -3/+9It should be noted that the number of submissions HAS dropped recently- admittedly they haven't been as brilliant as usual recently though.
- Halsfield, on 07/02/2008, -0/+6 *the more you know star here* =D
- jbu311, on 07/02/2008, -4/+11Thought this one was actually funny for once.
BUT STILL... AUTO-BURY! - gregnorc, on 07/02/2008, -4/+11Digg user gets lazy...
"I'll submit this popular webcomic which everyone has subscribed to the RSS feed of anyways to digg" - shondell, on 07/02/2008, -0/+6OH MY GOD! WHAT ELSE HAVE I BEEN MISSING!?
all of a sudden...I feel...so empty - Lollerskater, on 07/02/2008, -1/+7I actually wasn't going to bury this one because it was one of the better xkcd's I've seen in quite a while. But thank you for reminding me of why I actually bury most xkcd submissions: I just don't like it.
And until Digg allows us to filter xkcd from the articles without having to deselect the entire "comics & animation" category this is the only thing we can do. :( - Gregsaw, on 07/02/2008, -3/+8let's look at the latest comics from each one.
xkcd link is above

I think xkcd wins. It's funnier and more creative on a more regular basis than penny arcade. I'm not sure what the deal with the ping pong is, but if they spend 4+ comics on this story, it better end up being awesome.
This is all subjective though. You're free to have your own opinions - skealoha86, on 07/02/2008, -7/+12There's a war going on in Iraq.
- ZimbuTheMonkey, on 07/02/2008, -0/+5Laziness made him forsake his principles.
- yohnstoppable, on 07/02/2008, -0/+5I thought this one was actually funny
- akiteonastring, on 07/02/2008, -0/+5i didn't even know that!
- awtripp, on 07/02/2008, -0/+5Duplicate:
