  • antdude, on 07/25/2008, -4/+45Onikiller: The guy is trying to send the gal his network cable so she can use the Internet. Think of the Fax machine as a portal.
    • onikiller, on 07/26/2008, -13/+7thx
    • DyceFreak, on 07/26/2008, -3/+29this was front paged earlier WTF?
    • kaplanfx, on 07/26/2008, -8/+2The fax machine is a lie!
    • Stroggoth, on 07/26/2008, -8/+23Poorly drawn, it took me a while to see that there aren't three frames, but in fact one large frame with walls. And then it wasn't even funny. I repeat, xkcd has jumped the shark.
    • themastersb, on 07/26/2008, -1/+12Not only does every XKCD make front page, but more than once now too...
    • robby007, on 07/26/2008, -1/+4Now your thinking with portals.
    • gubatron2, on 07/26/2008, -0/+3thanks, the stupid middle frame with the plant made it even more odd to understand
    • Katana314, on 07/26/2008, -4/+3OK. We've said all the portal references! Can we give it a rest now?
    • chrishirsch, on 07/26/2008, -1/+2my high school athletic director tried to fax a sweatshirt.

      that is all
    • ruddy, on 07/26/2008, -1/+1RETARDSSSS
      he's sending the Rj-45 cable THROUGH the fax line (telephone cable), to upgrade the cable. it's actually kinda witty... if you have a brain
  • t2t2, on 07/25/2008, -4/+73Now there's a lazy submitter who just wants to be on the front page with xkcd...



    Title text: My friend Elizabeth tried to mail one end of the cable to me and thread the mail system.
    • mickstephenson, on 07/25/2008, -14/+2"My friend Elizabeth tried to mail one end of the cable to me and thread the mail system." well aren't they soooooo waaaaccckkkyy!!! I bet they chuckled there way back from the post office with their smug superior attitude because the poor attendant was just bemused at their "antics" rather than asking if they would like it crimped crossover or straight through.
    • onikiller, on 07/26/2008, -10/+1read wut i replied to rshah
      • NathanielJ, on 07/26/2008, -0/+6I find it astonishing that you have told someone else to "learn to write" in a comment on this very submission.
    • Stroggoth, on 07/26/2008, -7/+2"My friend Elizabeth tried to mail one end of the cable to me and thread the mail system." well aren't they soooooo waaaaccckkkyy!!! I bet they chuckled there way back from the post office with their smug superior attitude because the poor attendant was just bemused at their "antics" rather than asking if they would like it crimped crossover or straight through.
    • altrego99, on 07/26/2008, -0/+1Now I am lazy but I am not stupid. The case at hand here is exactly opposite - he was quick enough to submit but dumb enough to put a stupid title.
  • chaos7, on 07/25/2008, -34/+16i always bury xkcd
    • neuens07, on 07/25/2008, -15/+19I always bury people who always bury xkcd
      • mbonzo531, on 07/26/2008, -4/+9I always bury people who always bury people who bury xkcd
      • MadOtaku, on 07/26/2008, -2/+5I always bury people.
  • arbiterofcool, on 07/25/2008, -5/+17Most original title ever...
    http://digg.com/arts_culture/Rewiring
  • nickbarber, on 07/25/2008, -11/+9Wow, you didn't even put to title in. Trying too hard?
    • onikiller, on 07/26/2008, -12/+1learn to write then try again later
      • Galaxylander, on 07/26/2008, -2/+5It's okay, we all know you meant to write "Learn to write, then try again later."

  • rshah, on 07/25/2008, -12/+70Why submit it if you don't get it? XKCD has seriously become one of those things that will always end up on the front page; and people are taking advantage of that fact. Why I ask? For the glory? If you think having your username on Digg's front page is an honor worth bragging about. You sir need help. I bid you adieu.
    • onikiller, on 07/26/2008, -25/+3i submitted it cuz i was up and i figured hey why not try..and i didn't just copy the title of and submit the link like 2secs after it posted i looked at it and tried to understand and now im here trying to see how others interpreted it.

      p.s. go ***** yourself
      • zzz@tkz, on 07/26/2008, -0/+7Take your own advice
        "learn to write then try again later"
      • Galaxylander, on 07/26/2008, -0/+6I bet ur hookt on foniks to.

        Don't worry, I can actually type I just decided it'd be better to translate it for his ilk.
      • evanstapler, on 07/26/2008, -0/+2***** you.
  • feureau, on 07/25/2008, -4/+35Here's the source code to this comic:
    http://www.xkcdb.com/?2001

    (rpm is Randall Patrick Munroe)

    rpm: the grant consists of a banana and a piece of string
    relsqui: is it a fresh banana?
    rpm: depends on USPS times
    creature: How long is the piece of string?
    relsqui: is it long enough that you can hold one end and mail me the other?
    relsqui: that would be fun
    relsqui: thread the mail system
    rpm: ...
    rpm: !!
    rpm: wait
    rpm: awesome way to run private network cables
    relsqui: why settle for a VIRTUAL private network
    rpm: YES
  • NitrousFlare, on 07/25/2008, -1/+96You guys are cool

    • wontstoptalking, on 07/26/2008, -2/+2I now have a new desktop background.
    • vierce, on 07/26/2008, -1/+12I'm surprised mr. babyman hasn't jumped on this boat yet...
      • anotherjeff, on 07/26/2008, -0/+1mr babyman is better than that..
    • 2clone, on 07/26/2008, -1/+3xkcDUGG!!
    • Archer007, on 07/26/2008, -1/+3Dupe detector FTL?
      • alexforcefive, on 07/26/2008, -0/+3The honour system completely fails the dupe detector. Digg shouldn't ever let you submit the same url twice
    • jaxsonk, on 07/26/2008, -0/+1That is sad.
  • zippe, on 07/25/2008, -0/+33come on, this is already shown on the front page.
    http://digg.com/arts_culture/Rewiring
  • pjpark, on 07/25/2008, -0/+341. A magician performs a trick where he begins pulling a seemingly infinite strand of ribbon from a sleeping fax machine.

    2. Meanwhile, a flying trash can is yelling at a plant.

    3. Later, a chick who saw the show tries to do the trick at home, but fails.
  • Aerandir, on 07/26/2008, -1/+20XKCDupe.
  • TNicholson, on 07/26/2008, -1/+10/wrists.
  • Nar1117, on 07/26/2008, -2/+8Deja - ***** - vu. Jesus.
  • eouw0o83hf, on 07/26/2008, -0/+8Wow. Two in one day. Amazing.
  • fogdart, on 07/26/2008, -11/+6O MY ***** GODDDDDDDD!!! THIS WAS JUST ON DIGG YOU ***** DICKBIT!
    • onikiller, on 07/26/2008, -8/+9i submitted at the same time ***** check the dates..idk why its hitting FP now
      • ralphie81, on 07/26/2008, -1/+4That's weird. Even weirder, you're getting dugg down for logically explaining yourself. Meanwhile, fogdart is in caps lock hell and making us all feel his agony by bitching about a duplicate comic. Wow.
    • fuxxx, on 07/26/2008, -3/+4NNEERRRDD RAAAAGGGEEE
      OH MY GOOOODDDDDDD YOURE RUINING DIGG WHIIIIINNNNNEEEEEE
  • 2clone, on 07/26/2008, -3/+5I don't get it... DUGG
  • 2clone, on 07/26/2008, -8/+3xkcDUGG!!
  • Jenadae, on 07/26/2008, -2/+49This isnt even funny...
    • Cimlite, on 07/26/2008, -0/+6The guy who makes XKCD probably just made this one to test the limits of how sucky a strip can be, yet still get to the frontpage of Digg.

      A valid experiment... and the answer is, apparently, really REALLY sucky.
      • WillHutch5, on 07/26/2008, -3/+1Stop using the word sucky. You sound like a 5 year old.
      • tippmann1, on 07/26/2008, -2/+1I was thinking he sounded like an asian prostitute
  • takatoo, on 07/26/2008, -0/+21not funny and dupe
  • xNarrowSoulx, on 07/26/2008, -12/+1I'm digging this just to piss you off.
  • arjie, on 07/26/2008, -0/+6If you cross your eyes enough, the two fax machines merge and you get a new effect. Alternatively, fold the paper at A and B.
  • stouffer67, on 07/26/2008, -0/+9I guess it's gotten to the point where the title and description could say almost anything, but will get to the front page as long as it's xkcd.
  • marinebro0306, on 07/26/2008, -0/+3What?
  • FuriousGopher, on 07/26/2008, -0/+2This must be the infamous "Cow Tools" of XKCD

    Info on "Cow Tools", appearing in The Far Side by Gary Larson:
    http://www.everything2.org/index.pl?node_id=192505 ...
  • DynamiteMonkey, on 07/26/2008, -0/+28Can I bury this one 3 times?

    - not funny
    - second time today
    - submitter is borderline retarded based on comments
  • HesNikke, on 07/26/2008, -1/+15What the ***** is this *****? This "story" got to the front page with only 95 diggs - and with no summery!!!?! BURIED AS SPAM

    DIGG is ***** broken if this sort of ***** can happen.

    Good bye.
  • spleeyah, on 07/26/2008, -1/+6Front page with 95 diggs?
  • blueintrigue, on 07/26/2008, -1/+6i didn't get it

    so am burrying it
  • SugarCoatedSalt, on 07/26/2008, -0/+9bury it everyone, hurry!
  • DimensionalPunk, on 07/26/2008, -0/+5But a fax can only transfer small amounts of information which can then be used to print an image onto paper. No, unh uh, I don't think this would work at all.

    Buried as inaccurate.
  • Psythik, on 07/26/2008, -1/+5I can't decide whether I want to bury this as spam (because I'm sick of the XKCD spam), or as a dupe.
  • 0Xonox0, on 07/26/2008, -1/+3Ha ha huh. Not really that funny.
  • totosushi, on 07/26/2008, -3/+3fake
  • enronias, on 07/26/2008, -0/+4Isn't it great when people get so lazy they post a story with an un-original title and no description, even when it's already been posted, just in an attempt to make the front page
  • dashdingo, on 07/26/2008, -0/+9Holy ***** that was not funny at all.
  • sideffects, on 07/26/2008, -2/+2I get it!

    That is stupid.
  • Vipersfate, on 07/26/2008, -0/+3This was on the front page yesterday...cmon people. I thought Digg checked for dupes. I actually saw both of them in the Upcoming section, right next to each other.
  • Shamusjp, on 07/26/2008, -3/+0Can I possibly speak to someone who didn't come to this country on a floating door?
  • charlie55, on 07/26/2008, -1/+2that is one of the least funny things i have ever seen.
  • misreto, on 07/26/2008, -1/+2Lame why do these comics get on the front page. I don't get it.
  • dsmith530, on 07/26/2008, -2/+1Dug because this is a great web-comic. I stumbled upon XKCD for the first time a few weeks ago. Even though this one is a bit more on the esoteric the strips are great and very clever.
  • airr, on 07/26/2008, -0/+3I am surprised it took so long to come on front page of digg. What has this world come to :O
  • Blazer, on 07/26/2008, -0/+5I like XKCD, its pretty much the only web comic that I read. That being said, why, why is the latest XKCD on the front page EVERY week? Digg is not an RSS reader :P
  • Farmer77, on 07/26/2008, -0/+5XKCD is now the equivalent of Family Circus on Digg. Meaning It's not funny but it will always be around.
  • madpuppy, on 07/26/2008, -3/+1holy crap this web comic sucks! and if it isn't written by a chick, the guy has to be a freakin' gay ass wet nap. "haha, see how funny it is, look at all the hearts! he must really wuv her......" go jump off a ***** bridge.....into some sharpened, poison dipped pungee sticks.
    • Tim101010, on 07/26/2008, -0/+0I personally find XKCD to be quite funny
  • TheHappyRobot, on 07/26/2008, -0/+3Lazy submitter, why not try some of this fruit juice it is flavoured like raspbury.
  • sisko2k5, on 07/26/2008, -3/+2portal?
  • theMADone, on 07/26/2008, -0/+3Im starting a vigilante group devoted to killing digg users that submit XKCD comics. Im gonna call it 'League of the eternally sad that you can only bury once brigade'. who's in?
  • theMADone, on 07/26/2008, -0/+6Actually i think i know how to solve this, give digg a favorites system to bury articles automatically from certain domains. i for one, would love to never see anything from xkcd again and you can all profess your love for this dubious comedy without bringing it to my attention every other day.
    • theMADone, on 07/26/2008, -0/+1*edit* not bury just ignore
    • werthog, on 07/26/2008, -0/+1nah, do bury it. it'd be a service to humanity.
  • sporb, on 07/26/2008, -0/+1why is the fax machine sleeping?
