The description for the talk is here, though:

XKCD is pretty popular in my cohort.

Good times.

Maybe wordpress isn’t liking a tags all the sudden:

These are going to be spread around during seminar on thursday. The ln(2PI) sex comment got and that was only the second one I saw.

My friend does comics for the newspaper here on campus (and is a grad student in mechanical engineering also) so a lot of articles are about dorky engineering things, here’s one he did about me http://foma.comicgenesis.com/d/20080424.html , there’s a ton of dorky ones if you go back, the one about him trying to figure out why a light switch has on or off printed on it is hilarious, also a bunch of cardinals comics too.
