\n Comic of xkcd<\/abbr><\/a>\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/p>\n

Today, I would like to blog about something else than travelling for once. I would like to present my favourite web comic xkcd<\/abbr><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The author himself defines xkcd<\/abbr> as a webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language<\/q>. It is really funny, even if you probably have to be a bit of a nerd (or at least have to know a bit of mathematics) in order to fully appreciate all the jokes. This is also illustrated by my favorite comics about mathematics:<\/p>\n

\"[xkcd<\/a> <\/p>

"Newton and Leibniz" (Comic of xkcd<\/abbr><\/a>) <\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

However, already the disclaimer on each page says:<\/p>\n

\nThis comic occasionally contains strong language (which may be unsuitable for children), unusual humor (which may be unsuitable for adults), and advanced mathematics (which may be unsuitable for liberal-arts majors).\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, I am not the only one who likes this comic. For example, one fan used the tribute of xkcd to the Discovery Channel<\/a> (which brings us to the answer to the question why I presented their two ads in my previous blog entry<\/a>), and made it into a great YouTube video: "I Love xkcd<\/abbr><\/a>".<\/p>\n

Finally, I would like to present my favorite xkcd<\/abbr> comic. It rather makes fun of mathematician (and physicist), but (being a mathematician) I have to admit: Oh, so true!<\/p>\n
