I appear to be missing something. I didn't see anything in the source that seemed unusual... Then again it's been a really long time since I last experienced the wonders of Geocities.

On a side note, I found out that I know someone who went to college with Randal Munroe. This guy I know was at CNU and talking to a buddy of his about how much they loved xkcd. Randal was hanging out with them and said,"you guys know I write that, right?"
