XKCD Roundup: My Favorite XKCD Comics

I've selected a few exceptionally good xkcd comic strips and embedded them here. I find them all particularly amusing, over and above the normal strips. The tooltips have been preserved as well. I advise you to read them; the comics sometimes don't make sense without.

If the pics are too small for you, just click them (Ctrl+click or Shift+click would be better, actually; new tab, new window) to get the full-size version. And you can fix the annoying title truncation in Firefox using this nice extension.

This is one of those things that just hits my funny bone but I don't know why. Perhaps it's the Bond reference. Or maybe it's the fact that I just read about centripetal force in my physics class.

Now I know why Windows ME was so bad...

Exploits of a Mom

This has to be my favorite of these five. I'm so involved with Web development that I just can't help but be tickled by the idea of a n00bish developer forgetting to sanitize inputs for a database-driven front-end. The fact that it was a school's record system is even funnier.
