Randall Munroe is mad - but good.

Do you remember an XKCD called "Time"[^]? Never did get it when I saw it...and it makes no sense at all today. But...It's bigger than you thought. Have a look at this: it's not a single frame comic - it's a 3099 frame story, which told itself at a rate of one frame per hour. So, unless you sat there for 130 days, you probably haven't seen it. You can though: http://geekwagon.net/projects/xkcd1190/[^] Shows the whole thing! :omg:
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger. English doesn't borrow from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

There's also a 40 minute video of the story on YouTube: http://youtu.be/VoV-jzwaw_Q[^] And a blog post explaining it: http://blog.xkcd.com/2013/07/29/1190-time/[^]

I actually did sit there for 130 days as did many others A community was formed and much fan art was created of which I played a large part. I now have my own web-comic-like thing going because I was inspired by what Randall did with Time and the hundreds of other people that contributed as we were watching it unfold on the forum. Here's Randall's own blog post he wrote about it when it finished: http://blog.xkcd.com/2013/07/29/1190-time/
